Benefits

Ginger doesn’t just taste good; it does good too! According to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, ginger jazzes up digestion by sparking your stomach juices and saliva. It might even help settle nausea and relax your stomach, particularly for anyone in chemo treatment — though, they’re still digging into this research.

Here’s to making healthy choices taste amazing! Cheers!
