"Made by a Bay Area jam maker that recently branched into ginger, this product is essentially ginger jerky: thin-sliced, dehydrated ginger very lightly dressed with sugar and apple cider vinegar so the ginger flavor stays dominant rather than being overwhelmed by sweetness. The heat is immediate and intense—described as traveling straight up the nose—burning the mouth, throat, sinuses and head, yet tempered by a bit of sweetness and a faint vinegar tang. A crisp-chewy texture makes the pieces compulsively snackable while still satisfying to chew, and although not marketed as medicinal they work well after a big meal or to soothe an irritable stomach. The reviewer was so taken that after finishing a three-ounce sample they ordered two 13-ounce bags and happily spooned the ginger dust from the bottom, noting a near-familial, genetic craving for particularly gingery fare inherited from a maternal grandmother." - Rebecca Flint Marx
