About And Ginger

Named after the beautiful island "嶼" (yǔ, island) of Taiwan and the character "與" (yǔ, and/accompany). We use Taiwanese Bamboo Ginger, harnessing its unique gingerols and avoiding additives. This not only ensures consumers eat healthily and with peace of mind but also introduces variety into their diet through different consumption forms and methods.

Bamboo Ginger has an extremely high content of gingerols. The gingerol content in one piece of Bamboo Ginger is equivalent to the amount found in a large chunk of widely available Southeast Asian Ginger (Young Ginger, Mature Ginger, or Old Ginger).

Bamboo Ginger warms the heart and body. When it's heated, the high concentration of gingerols in its dried form converts into the heat-stable compound gingerenone, and the content of this compound increases by approximately 12 times.

Local Island Ginger, also known as 'Small Ginger,' 'Bamboo Shoot Ginger,' or 'Bamboo Ginger,' is different from the common Chinese Ginger variety we usually consume.

Local Island Ginger is more slender and compact, and its ginger fiber content is several times that of ordinary ginger.

Ginger itself contains unique nutritional components such as dietary fiber, gingerols, gingerenone, and shogaols. These components can help burn internal body waste, improve gastrointestinal digestion, and boost immunity, which is one of the main reasons why we should consume more ginger. Furthermore, the concentration of these components in Local Island Ginger is the highest among all ginger family crops.

In the market, Local Island Ginger is notably more rare and valuable compared to common ginger. The reasons for this scarcity are that Local Island Ginger is only suitable for cultivation on high mountains at an altitude of about 1,000 meters, requiring fertile, deep, and well-drained soil on gentle slopes.

Furthermore, after harvesting, each plot of ginger field must be rotated with other crops and can only be used for ginger cultivation again after another 6 to 7 years.

Rongchyi's Local Island Ginger is cultivated on the fertile, gentle slopes of Mt Alishan. We meticulously select the ideal location each year and choose experienced ginger farmers for cultivation. We strictly monitor pesticide detection and irrigation water quality, adhering to the same export standards used for Japan, to bring consumers the safest and healthiest Carefully Selected Local Island Ginger with complete Production Traceability credentials.

Unlike the overly spicy and dry ginger candies commonly found on the market, Rongchyi has successfully subverted the stereotype of typical ginger candy.

By improving the production process and utilizing our proprietary coating technique, we have successfully removed the excessive natural spiciness of the ginger. The ginger's unique flavor gently and gradually spreads in the mouth only after consumption, creating a delightful and lingering taste experience coupled with a soft, gummy-like texture.

Again, Rongchyi's Local Island Ginger Candy insists on not using artificial sweeteners or flavors, allowing your body enjoy it without any burden.
