What to know about ginger root
Fresh ginger root is the knobbly rhizome you grate into stir-fries, steep for tea, or press into cold-pressed juices and ginger shots. On trigger data it is clean on histamine, FODMAP and gluten, and its one flag is salicylates, where it grades moderate. That barely matters for a slice in tea, but concentrated forms like ginger shots and fresh juices press several roots into a single drink, which is where salicylate-sensitive people tend to notice it. Fresh root is also milder than dried ground ginger, so if you react, a small fresh grating is the gentler way to use it.
Watch for
- Moderate in salicylates, so a whole-root ginger shot or a big glug of fresh juice is a far larger dose than a coin of ginger in a stir-fry.
- Fresh versus dried: ground ginger is more concentrated per spoon, so grating fresh root is the lower-salicylate way to get the flavour if you are sensitive.
- It is warming and anti-nausea, so people tend to use a lot; the trigger load scales with how concentrated your preparation is.
