Jeonju Ginger

Jeonju Ginger

　　Jeonju ginger is known for its large, plump roots. Mature ginger is spicy yet fragrant, while young ginger is mildly spicy and crisp. It aids digestion, warms the body, and helps dispel cold, making it effective against cold-related headaches and postpartum conditions. Dried ginger is pungent and hot, warming the middle energizer and dispersing cold to relieve stomach pain, abdominal pain, and vomiting caused by a weak spleen and stomach. Pickled ginger regulates meridians and stops bleeding, while ginger peel promotes urination and reduces swelling — all are commonly used in clinical practice. Ginger products made from Jeonju ginger, such as ginger candy, ginger slices, and ginger juice, are exported across the seas to countries like Japan and the United States.
