Sourced from China's high-altitude regions—typically at elevations of 1,500 to 2,000 meters—this dried ginger benefits from significant day-night temperature differences, abundant sunlight, and mineral-rich soil. It is characterized by a potent pungency, a rich aroma, high levels of gingerol and volatile oils, and a low fiber content, making it ideal for use as a spice or for ginger oil extraction.
