Ground Ginger

Ground ginger is a fragrant spice made from dried ginger root that has been ground into a fine powder. It offers a warm, spicy, and slightly sweet flavor that adds depth to both sweet and savory dishes.

Notes

Ground ginger is more potent than fresh ginger, so use it sparingly unless the recipe specifies otherwise. Store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to preserve its flavor.

Prosciutto

Prosciutto is a dry-cured ham that originates from Italy, known for its delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich, savory flavor. Each thin slice is a burst of umami, with a hint of nuttiness and a touch of saltiness that dances on your tongue.
