Dry Ginger (Sonth): Pungency, Oil & Drying Standards

Origin & Drying

Indian dry ginger is valued for strong pungency. Careful sun-drying to low moisture preserves the volatile oils and gingerol responsible for its characteristic bite.

Key Parameters

Buyers specify volatile oil content, moisture (max ~10%), and whether the rhizome is bleached or unbleached. Nutraceutical buyers focus on gingerol for functional applications.

Whole vs Powder

Whole dry ginger suits re-grinding and brewing; powder is supplied at agreed mesh for instant beverage and seasoning manufacturers.

Packing & MOQ

25 kg bags, palletised; MOQ from 3 MT.
