About this Product

Our Basiya ginger is grown in a family-run food forest in the Amarwara Region of Madhya Pradesh alongside mango, moringa, and fig trees. This heirloom variety is what the local farmers grow to keep and use in their own homes. Known for its enduring fragrance and subtle sweetness, this ginger is commonly used medicinally and in cooking.
