TasteTV is made up of a group of avowed ginger-lovers. We use it in recipes to give a spark of life and zest to them, we use it in drinks and teas to increase their wellness attributes and hold off colds, and we like to eat it as snacks that provide energy and clarity of mind.
That is why we have been going nuts over The Ginger People’s expanded line of products, especially their GINGER RESCUE Ginger Shots and GINGER RESCUE Chewable Ginger Tablets. These are not your usual ‘ginger-flavored’ consumables. Indeed, when you eat or drink them the ginger is the most prevalent ingredient, and you can tell immediately that it is all real ginger.
GINGER RESCUE Ginger Shots
The GINGER RESCUE Ginger Shots are very popular because you can drink them in three swallows, and they come in tantalizing flavors such as Coconut, Lemon & Cayenne, and Wild Tumeric. We taste-tested all three, and each one received high marks. In addition, they energize yet are completely caffeine-free. Says the company, “Ginger Shots have a natural energizing effect thanks to ginger’s circulatory-enhancing and stimulating qualities.”
As an aside, we have not had the reason to try these Rescue Shots for treatment of hangovers, though that day might come.
GINGER RESCUE Chewable Ginger Tablets
The GINGER RESCUE Chewable Ginger Tablets are extremely versatile when it comes to when and why to use them.
Need help waking up, chew a tablet. Hungry, chew a tablet. Sore throat, suck a tablet. Stomach queasy, eat two. Feeling a bit under the weather, take three.
Ginger helps wellness and symptoms in all of those areas, and with each pack including 24 tablets you are well prepared for the challenges of daily life. Plus, that ginger zing on your tongue is hard to resist.
TUMERIC & FIJI
Part of this expanded selection of consumer choices is a new Turmeric-infused product line. A member of the ginger family, turmeric is one of the fastest growing functional foods and for The Ginger People, a logical extension to the brand:
“We’re all looking for something healthy yet tasty that is closer to the earth,” says The Ginger People co-founder Abbie Leeson, “and we believe turmeric is something people believe in. Like ginger, it’s another great example of a functional food that tastes good and ‘does good’.”
Turmeric owes its health promoting properties to the chemical compound Curcumin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. A fellow warming spice, it can also help to improve digestion and circulation.
Each of the new turmeric products is made with either Javanese turmeric or Aromatica turmeric from Fiji, both arguably more effective than the common turmeric (Curcuma Longa). This is in line with an announcement in 2017 by the Fiji Ministry of Agriculture that they have allocated a $FJ1 million budget to support the Fijian ginger industry. At the time Ginger People Group President, Bruce Leeson, said, “We are committed to help build the Fiji ginger industry. We partner with farmers in a select number of regions in the world and we consider Fiji our crown jewel.”
To help further promote the growing popularity and high quality of Fiji ginger, The Ginger People designed a new line of ginger gifts specifically for the Fijian tourism industry. Sold through select Prouds and Tapoo locations, the delicious new treats make for perfect take-home goodies for the estimated 500,000+ Australians and New Zealanders who visit Fiji annually. Both countries are significant consumers of ginger.
