Ginger Powder

Ryfora Ginger Powder is a pure dry ginger powder, known as sonth or saunth in India, made from whole ginger root that is cleaned, sun-dried and finely ground. It has a warm, spicy and aromatic taste and contains natural compounds called gingerols and shogaols. In Ayurveda, dry ginger is known as vishwabheshaj – the "universal medicine" – and has been used for centuries to support digestion and comfort in cold weather.

Benefits of ginger powder

• Supports digestion – traditionally taken after heavy meals to ease bloating and gas.
• Warming in winter – a classic ingredient in kadha, haldi doodh and winter laddoos.
• Natural gingerols and shogaols – the compounds behind ginger's warm, spicy taste.
• May ease mild nausea – ginger is widely used for travel and morning sickness (check with your doctor during pregnancy).
• Convenient and long lasting – no peeling, grating or spoiling like fresh ginger.

There is no difference. Sonth (or saunth) is the Hindi name for dry ginger powder made from dried ginger root.

Is ginger powder good for cough and cold?
