Ginger (Adrak / Sonth)
Common questions from importers about sourcing, quality, and exporting Ginger (Adrak / Sonth) from India.
-
What is the standard gingerol content in Indian export-grade ginger?Our premium Indian ginger (Sonth) is tested for high gingerol content, typically maintaining a minimum of 15mg/g. This high pungency makes it ideal for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical extractions. We provide HPLC-certified lab reports with every bulk shipment.
-
Why is ginger from Kerala and Northeast India preferred for export?The cool highlands and rich soil of Kerala and Northeast India (Meghalaya, Assam) provide the perfect micro-climate for ginger cultivation. This results in rhizomes with less fiber, higher volatile oil content, and a more robust flavor profile compared to other regions.
-
Which form of dried ginger is best for beverage vs food applications?Whole Dried and Sliced Ginger are preferred for tea blends and botanical infusions where visual identity is important. Fine Ginger Powder (80–100 mesh) is best for industrial food manufacturing, bakery products, and ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages.
-
What are the shipping and packaging options for bulk ginger?We offer flexible packaging from 100g retail pouches to 25kg bulk PP bags. Our standard bulk MOQ is 100kg, with shipping options including Air Freight (3–7 days) for urgent samples and Sea Freight (FCL/LCL) for larger commercial orders.
