Ginger adds an unexpected pop of spice and delicious complexity to your favorite barbecue fare.
Ginger may not be one of the first spices you think about when you’re getting barbecue dishes ready for the grill. But maybe it should be. We think it adds a unique warmth and lively zing to the barbecue arena, which is why we included it in our Red Rock BBQ Seasoning.
Ginger belongs to the same plant family as turmeric, cardamom, and galangal. All members of the Zingiberaceae family, these fragrant, warming spices have antioxidant properties that make them beneficial to your health and the taste of your food.
The underground stem (or rhizome) of the ginger plant is commonly called ginger root and is used to make ground ginger for cooking. The ground ginger we use is organic, non-GMO, and kosher-certified.
