• Ginger

 The root of the ginger plant, also called ginger, is used more as a spice than a vegetable.

It’s used in many different ways, from cookies to curries, to juices.

A single teaspoon (0.7oz/2g) of raw ginger is such a small quantity that its levels of nutrients are almost insignificant.

What ginger lacks in nutrients per serving seriously makes up for in many other ways.

It’s used as a natural remedy for motion sickness and does wonders to reduce inflammation such as arthritis or gout.

It has also been found to aid in reducing blood sugar levels when taken as a supplement by people with diabetes.
