Now, I realize that not everyone is a freak for the flavor of ginger like I am. However, if you really like ginger, you’ll love TJ’s uncrystallized candied ginger. It is simply small pieces of ginger, sweetened with sugar. Because the ginger flavor is so strong, they are pretty spicy–but delicious! I like to suck on one until I can’t stand it any longer and bite into the gummy goodness.
These would be great chopped up and added to a spice cookie. (Yes, chopping them up would probably be a bitch, since I’m sure they would stick to the knife….but just think of a warm molasses or spice cookie with small studs of ginger throughout it….yum!)
The next time I am pregnant, I’m definitely going to keep these on hand. I think the ginger would be very soothing to a tummy with morning (noon, and night) sickness. The only ingredients are ginger and sugar–so no nasty processed-ness here. Plus, the pack such a flavor punch that one or two small pieces are plenty to make your mouth sing. According to the nutritional information, 6 pieces are 100 calories, so one or two isn’t going to derail your diet.

I had this recently in the States and am bummed to be back in New Zealand where I’ve never come across it. It tastes great and it doesn’t have the sulphates usually associated with crystalised ginger (I assume, anyway – it may not have to be on the label in US as it would in NZ).
