It’s true that Indonesian ginger is not the least expensive in the world, but everything good comes with a price. Compare our ginger to that produced in other countries and you will immediately understand where the extra cost comes from. Indonesia provides the ideal climate for ginger growth as these aromatic rhizomes crave warmth and humidity. Our Elephant Ginger not only has an unmistakably consistent flavor, but is ethically and sustainably produced.
