Roasted Ginger from Xilin

Last updated 2026-11-11 — Produced in Xilin, Guangxi. It is made from high-quality yellow ginger. The roasting method involves harvesting the ginger in late autumn to early winter. After digging, the ginger is cleaned and trimmed. To ensure uniform appearance, each piece retains three branches. The skin is scraped off in one direction using bamboo slices—iron tools are strictly prohibited to prevent the skin from turning black during roasting. The ginger is then placed in a charcoal furnace and slowly roasted over low heat. The process generally takes about four days and nights, during which over 80% of the moisture evaporates, resulting in the final product. Its color is bright yellow, the texture is tender, and it has a fragrant, spicy taste. Its quality and efficacy are no less than that of fresh ginger.
