Roasted Ginger

Last updated 2026-11-16 — Roasted ginger is made from locally grown yellow ginger in Longlin. The ginger is peeled and slow-roasted in an oven until tender. It boasts thick flesh, a delicate texture, a fresh spicy taste, and a slightly warming nature. When ground into powder, it becomes ginger powder, which can be used as a seasoning to enhance a variety of dishes. Additionally, it has health benefits such as warming the bones, boosting immunity, clearing phlegm, dispersing nodules, and stimulating appetite. Roasted ginger is produced throughout the county, but the towns of Gebu, Xinzhou, and Pingban are particularly well-known producers, yielding an annual output of 500–600 tons.
