When it gets really uncomfortable and cold outside, there is probably nothing better than a cup of warming ginger with a spoonful of sweet honey. However, this combination is not only useful for warming up on cold days, but also brings some other advantages.
For example, ginger (Latin: zingiber officinale) should alleviate nausea, bloating, indigestion and pain. These great effects are due to the essential oils and non-volatile sharpeners, such as gingerol, that each Ingwerknolle contains. The typical smell arises from the contained zingiberol.
In addition, ginger can also be used for cooking. Gingerol gives every dish a wonderful spice and freshness.
For us, ginger counts as a real miracle cure, but honey also brings with it a lot of great properties. This was also known many thousands of years ago. The first representations of people who have collected honey go back to the year 12,000 BC. Back to the Chronicle.
For a long time, honey has been considered the number one home remedy for colds and coughs and, of course, as a traditional sweetener.
For the Egyptians, honey was a real treasure. It was used as a commodity and means of payment and was also considered a „food of the gods“. But the Greeks were also enthusiastic about honey early on and used it as a beauty and remedy. Even Olympic athletes drank honey water back then in order to regain strength faster.
Such a great combination as ginger and honey was allowed in our Compass Mints Not missing, of course. In the ginger honey pastilles, we combine the spicy freshness with a fine sweetness and still, as always, remain sugar-free.
