Our Ginger is naturally grown and, hence, healthy.
We grow Ginger naturally, which means it has no harmful chemicals like pesticides or fungicides used during its cultivation. Naturally grown pesticide-free Ginger provides you with a very healthy choice compared to other cultivars.
The use of pesticides in food item cultivation imposes consequential threats to human health and well-being. In the short term, pesticide exposure may cause skin and eye irritation, respiratory and central nervous system problems, coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Long-term pesticide exposure can cause cancer, birth defects, and reproductive issues (like male and female fertility, increasing the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, and premature birth). Long-term exposure to pesticides can also result in the risk of neurological problems (with memory, learning, and coordination) and endocrine disruption (issues with metabolism, reproduction, and development).
Regular ginger cultivation uses a sleuth of pesticides and fungicides (carbamates, organophosphates, pyrethroids, insect growth regulators), all with harmful impacts on human health.
Harmful impact of pesticides used in regular ginger cultivation on human health
| Pesticide | Harmful impact of pesticides on human health | |
| Carbamates | It can cause various symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, sweating, blurred vision, muscle weakness, seizures, and respiratory failure. In severe cases, carbamate poisoning can be fatal. | |
| Organophosphates | It can also cause a variety of symptoms, including those listed for carbamates, as well as miosis (constriction of the pupils), bradycardia (slow heart rate), bronchospasm (spasms of the airways), and increased salivation and sweating. Organophosphate poisoning can also be fatal. | |
| Pyrethroids | They are less toxic than carbamates and organophosphates but can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and rash. In severe cases, pyrethroid poisoning can lead to seizures, coma, and death. | |
|
Insect growth regulators
|
They can disrupt the development of insects but can also harm human health. Some insect growth regulators have been linked to neurological problems, reproductive problems, and cancer. | |

Afterward, Ginger is spread out on a clean surface in the sun and turned over every few hours to ensure that it dries evenly. Ginger is dried for 7-14 days or until completely dry. This process preserves the flavor and nutritional value of fresh Ginger while making it easy to store and use. We strive to provide the best possible service to our customers.
