ginger-bio-belgique-guide">organic ginger in Belgium: why the organic choice is crucial for this rhizome

When we choose a organic ginger concentrate for its health properties, the organic choice is not trivial — it is essential. Here's why.

Ginger: one of the most treated rhizomes

Conventional (non-organic) ginger is subject to numerous phytosanitary treatments, including:

• Fungicides : to prevent rhizome rot during storage and transportation
• Insecticides : against the pyrex of ginger (Plasmodiophora brassicae-related pathogens) and nematodes
• Post-harvest preservatives : some markets accept sulfur dioxide treatment

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has regularly identified pesticide residues in imported ginger rhizomes.

Why this is particularly problematic in a concentrate

A ginger concentrate uses much more of the rhizome than ordinary culinary use. To produce 1 liter of concentrate, several kilos of root are required. fresh ginger benefits. Pesticide residues concentrate in the extraction process.

What is tolerable in a culinary dose can become significant in a medicinal dose (daily shots).

Organic ginger: more gingerols?

Comparative studies show that ginger grown organically, under conditions of cortisol-natural">ginger controlled stress (soil, altitude, sunshine), develops naturally more defensive compounds — including gingerols. The stress moderate is an inducer of phenol biosynthesis.

Peruvian ginger, grown at altitude, with volcanic soil and particular climatic conditions, is recognized for its concentration superior in active ingredients. This is why INTI sources exclusively from Peru.
