What is Candied Ginger?
Candied ginger is fresh ginger root that has been preserved by simmering in sugar syrup and then lightly dried. The process replaces moisture in the ginger with sugar, creating a sweet yet spicy treat that balances the natural heat of ginger with a chewy texture. Dawn Royal Steensma Candied Ginger Diced is cut into small, irregular cubes ranging from 2mm to 7mm, making it versatile for a wide range of applications.

Why Does Candied Ginger Have a Long Shelf Life?
The candying process is what allows Royal Steensma Candied Ginger to last up to 24 months from production. During this process, the ginger is simmered in sugar syrup, which replaces the natural water content with sugar. This has two key effects:
1) Preservation with Sugar: The sugar acts as a natural preservative by reducing the water activity in the ginger. Microbes require water to grow, and the sugar effectively locks up the remaining moisture, preventing spoilage.
2) Stable and Moist Texture: The ginger retains its chewy texture while being stabilised, making it resistant to microbial growth and oxidation.
This means you can confidently store it in a cool, dry place for months without worrying about quality or safety.
