Sonth Powder

Description

Dry ginger, sonth (also called saunth), is not the same as fresh ginger powder, and experienced Indian cooks understand that difference intuitively. The drying process concentrates ginger's compounds, particularly shogaols which are formed from gingerols during drying and are actually more bioactive and more pungent than the gingerols in fresh ginger. The result is a powder with a deeper, more intense heat and a warming quality that lingers differently on the palate, prized specifically in winter cooking and Ayurvedic medicinal preparations.

Hariom Sonth Powder is made from quality dried ginger roots, finely ground to a smooth, cream-coloured powder that dissolves easily in warm liquids and hot oil alike. Sonth is the backbone of the traditional immunity-boosting kadha (herbal drink) that Indian households have reached for during cold and flu season for generations and modern research has validated much of this traditional wisdom, confirming ginger's anti-nausea, anti-inflammatory, and digestive properties.

From sonth ke laddu made for new mothers to a winter chai that warms the chest, this is the powdered form that makes ginger's most potent qualities fully usable in the kitchen.
