Ginger People Ginger Juice - 5 fl oz

I'm a Trim Healthy Mama and enjoy a "Good Girl Moonshine" that calls for ginger... I don't like the powdery texture of the ground ginger. A dear friend introduced me to this gem and it has made a world of difference for my GGMS!

I used medicinally for my skin. My dermatologist recommended that I use ginger on my skin for my hypopigmentation. She told me to cut a slice of fresh ginger off and squeeze directly to the spot. I thought possibly the same could be achieved with this ginger juice. So I used it on a cotton ball and applied directly to my skin every night for the whole entire bottle. It did nothing for the hypopigmentation. But it can be attributed to the fact that I didn't use fresh ginger and I did only for about 2 months. My doctor told me she seen people where it did work- after 6+ months of using ginger daily only. I did have to shake the bottle as the solution would separate. It stayed fresh the entire two months also! And the scent was not overpowering, it was actually nice.On another note, I did use once in cooking. I ran out of ginger paste for one of my recipes, and had to use this in a pinch. My recipe called for 2 tablespoons ginger paste and I subbed with the juice to 1 tablespoons. Never noticed a difference in end result of my stew. Delicious and convenient!

I bought a small bottle to try this out. I wanted to make homemade ginger ale, as the ones in the store that use real ginger are quite pricey. I ended up just pouring some of this into sparkling water, without any sweetener, and it is really good. I may try adding a bit of lemon juice in the future. I was surprised that I still liked it without any added sweetness.

I have been buying fresh ginger at a big “international” grocery store to make hot ginger “tea” (nothing but filtered water with raw chopped ginger steeped for an hour + organic NOW stevia powder—no actual tea leaves etc) for six years straight. It took a while, but it brought down my serum inflammatory markers and cut my pain level by half. But the fresh ginger wasn’t organic and that which was available in other stores was puny and often too dried out to even yield any flavor. I needed to eliminate as much glyphosate as possible. Then I saw this. Who knew?I was wary of buying the 32oz size of this product because of some negative reviews, so ordered a single 5oz glass bottle instead to try.I left it unopened on the counter for five days and it separated—clear on top, thick ginger colored stuff halfway down. Finally decided to add some to my water kefir to see if I could achieve anything approaching commercial ginger ale. (Even 0.5 lb of grated very fresh ginger in 48 oz lacked the longed-for bite.) I think what most people don’t realize is that ANY ginger tastes hotter/spicier when WARM. In a cold drink or salad it loses something. I don’t think I would substitute this for fresh grated or juiced ginger in say, salad dressing or fermented veggies. But it’s a very good substitute for my steeped ginger hot drink in the morning, and very fast. It does lack a bit of the bite I was looking for to magically transform my water kefir into Canada Dry, but not by much!Re the “lumpy” product pics that one person posted, I have to share what my son (a pastry chef in a VERY high end restaurant) said about this. He saw the tiny bit left in my 5oz bottle and asked where I’d gotten it? “Where else—Amazon.” He said they buy it for use in the restaurant. My eyebrows went up because the menu doesn’t seem to have anything requiring ginger in any real quantity. He said he uses it. “For what? I don’t see your customer base paying $18 for gingerbread!” Silly me. He makes ginger sorbet and likes this because it makes a nicely gingery ice onto which he grates a bit of fresh, etc etc. (I’m sworn to secrecy for the rest.) If he made it with 100% fresh, it would be a one-note dessert and awful. Overpowering.Its lack of fibers is a big plus. That it separates and can be lumpy didn’t matter at all he said, anymore than steaks being sold raw at the grocery store matter. “It’s an INGREDIENT, not a finished product,” he said, which is a good point. So don’t expect a 1:1 equivalent, or for it to be smooth all the time. It’s unrealistic. I’m ordering the 32oz bottle. Because the larger size is in plastic, I might transfer it to glass, but I kinda think it’s going to be gone too quickly for me to be concerned.....

Big fan of ginger juice. We have always used ginger for upset stomachs, which we don't get often. I add it to ginger ale.. use it in baking ginger snaps, I use it anyplace ginger is called for. For ginger snaps I use the ginger pieces, ginger powder, and ginger juice and the cookies are amazing. Then there's ginger bread... Great product.

I loved this stuff. The fresh ginger taste is perfect. I added it to smoothies, to water, to tea. I got some club soda and made ginger ale with this and a little stevia. The only downside is that I go through it too quickly to justify the cost. If it were half the price it is now, I'd probably buy it by the gross.

Yummy. Potent. Authentic. It's exactly what it says on the tin, no more, no less, and that's perfect.A little goes a long way, but you tend to get over that pretty quickly, for two reasons:Number one: it's delicious and makes you feel good. You'll adjust to the zing because you want to.Number two: you'll probably use more than you meant to simply because of the bottle's design. It's a little hard to control how much you use, the top of the bottle is just open, there's no shakey-thingy or pouring spout, you can't shake some out like hot sauce or slowly pour it out like soy sauce or olive oil. It's very difficult to use in a precisely measured way.There are some things that lose potency or taste quite differently when they're bottled, dried, juiced, or jarred, or otherwise not absolutely made-right-now-fresh. Garlic especially, but also mustard seed, horseradish, most garden vegetables, and more. Ginger, however, retains almost all of that right-now-fresh flavor, at least when it's done right, and the Ginger People certainly do it right.I make a carbonated lemonade that this turns into the only thing I ever want to drink. Great in a lot of beverages, in fact, hot or cold. A real time saver when cooking too, as it delivers the flavor of fresh ginger perfectly, and you don't get woody fibrous pieces of ginger in your food. A perfect ginger-delivery ingredient in almost every way.Highly recommended. I'm graduating to the larger size, 5 oz. isn't nearly enough.

The bottle broke! I opened the bottle from the package and it broke from the bottom. All the liquid spilled out. So upset.

Good products

Used it to flavor Kombucha, works well.

Taste like regular ginger. I use it in smoothies, teas and stir-frys. 4 stars bc it is a little expensive.

Used this in chai tea latte in an effort to make a ginger chai tea. It smells and tastes off; it doesn't smell or taste like freshly pressed ginger root.

I'm not sure what I was really expecting as I'm till trying different products but I was kinda hoping the ginger smell will be super stong. For now it's a 5 star.

I LOVE THIS STUFF!!! I used to get it at the market but they never had it in stock why didn’t I think of Amazon sooner!

I use ginger in smoothies and this is the perfect way to get it into my drinks in the morning without having to think about the process of getting ginger ready.

The price here is way inflated just so you know. But even at the retail price, this product is way too expensive.

horrible tuff
