Which ginger shot is the best in Belgium?
INTI is the best choice for those seeking a truly sugar-free, cold-pressed, organic ginger shot in Belgium. This is not an opinion but a fact based on nutritional values: INTI contains 1.1g natural sugar per 100ml compared to 33g added sugar in Gimber — the most well-known Belgian brand.
Comparison: the 4 main Belgian and French ginger brands
| Brand | Sugar/100ml | Carbohydrates | Cold press | Organic | Turmeric | Origin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Why does Gimber contain so much sugar?
Gimber is not a cold-pressed product. It is a concentrated ginger extract diluted with water and sugar (cane sugar) to improve taste and preservation. 33g of sugar per 100ml is equivalent to 3 cans of Coca-Cola. This makes Gimber more of a sugary ginger drink than a truly healthy elixir.
INTI, on the other hand, cold-presses fresh organic ginger, turmeric, and lemon — without any added sugar, alcohol, or preservatives. The result is 1.1g natural sugar per 100ml.
What makes a good ginger shot?
- No added sugar — max 2g/100ml (natural)
- Cold press — retains all active compounds (gingerols)
- 100% organically certified
- Ginger as the first ingredient
- No preservatives
- Turmeric present — synergistic anti-inflammatory effect
INTI meets all 6 criteria. Gimber scores on only 1 (partially organic).
