Herbaila Dried Crystallized Ginger Slices 16 oz. Unsulphured Dried Ginger Candy, Crystalized Ginger Pieces. All Natural, Non-GMO

Great, sharp taste. Very fresh and loaded with flavor.

Just ordered my second bag. Looking at the one star ratings I guess people just don't know that "crystallized" means it is processed using sugar. Don't think there is any other way of crystallizing something without making it tough as a boot! Anyway, I really enjoyed this bag and it has helped a lot with my stomach problems. I am not a ginger person but could really chow down on these if I let myself. I am sulfur sensitive so also very glad these are available unsulfured.

I really like these ginger chips, very flavorful not too sweet, best of all unsullfered and not stringy. The bag had pull strip to open but tore and i was not able to close it like ziplock bags, no biggy i placed in an air tight container. Mauby could be a better design. In my second order was almost the same but had to many stringy large pieces, they had a very strong taste!! I ordered another, if I have a lot of stringy pieces will stop ordering!!

Fresh, soft and chewy. These ginger slices come in a sturdy package with a resealable zip close, so you don’t need an extra baggie for storage. The ingredients list: dried, crystallized ginger slices (and that’s all). No sulphides, no additives, no preservatives. I’ve had these for a month, and they’re still fresh & delicious. You can eat them plain to help an upset stomach; they’re fantastic for alleviating nausea, either due to pregnancy or illness. I have Lupus and these magical ginger slices settle my stomach when I’m extremely nauseous & my meds aren’t working. They’re also about half the price of what my local store charges, and since there’s no additives or chemicals, you don’t have to worry about preservatives. You can also put a couple slices in a mug & top with hot water, then steep for five minutes, to make yourself a ginger tea. Honestly, I don’t even like ginger, but its benefits outweigh my dislike.

I have tried quite a few different brands, each have their own differences to one degree or another, esp. price. Herbalia definitely is my current favorite. First of all price, one lb. for $9.99! Second, quality and freshness, and third the flavor! The ginger pieces are mostly small slices, with bits and pieces in the mix as well. The ginger is firm yet soft to chew and the flavor is great with a bit of a nice bite to it, which I like! I wouldn't say it is hot, but has a nice spicy bite. Some people don't like any bite, but it is Ginger and Ginger usually has some bite to it. The usual amount of sugar is on the ginger, which primarily is to keep the ginger from sticking together. I put the ginger in a coriander and shake and move the ginger around to remove most of the sugar. Overall, this is now my #1 ginger to buy.

I have bought this bag of crystallized ginger, twice. The first time, it was medium sized ginger slices. The second order was much smaller cubes, despite the bag still saying "slices". I don't mind the difference, but just letting you know, you could get either one. Both were soft and chewy, but ya know, soft and chewy like ginger is, not a like a gummy bear. The cubes were definitely spicier, and the slices seem a little milder but still have a kick. I like the spicy. Makes me feel tough without making me cry. The slices seem to be coated in a little more sugar than the cubes, even though both are well coated. It's like the cubes are covered in 1 layer of sugar and the slices were double dipped. Some people might say the slices have too much sugar, but don't listen to them. They probably only put 1 cup of sugar in their Kool aid and think Sriracha is too spicy. You and me are cool, and we know what fun tastes like. Even though you have no control over which bag you get, I do like the small cubes better, because it's easier to portion control with them...you know...maybe if you're a type 1 diabetic who's not supposed to be eating a bunch of raw sugar in one go...then you can just eat a few cubes. They're great for when my, I mean, they'd be great for someone's low blood sugar. The slices are bigger, and you can't just bite one and put it back in the bag like some kind of monster. I guess you could cut them with kitchen scissors, but I slice my pizza with a plastic butter knife, I'm not the kind of person that has kitchen scissors. The less processed a food is, the less consistent it's going to be. Some might be more gingery or more spicy, or whatever, it comes with the territory. I just like that these are unsulfured, since me and sulfur aren't on speaking terms, and they work for all the things people like to use ginger for. Nausea. A sweet spicy snacky-doodle between breakfast and lunch. Midnight low blood sugar. Whatever. They're good, and they're one of the better priced brands, with no glaring problems. 4.5/5 stars.

Let's start with the fact that I've ordered (and enjoyed) this product three times, but NEVER have I received the correct product. I ordered "chunks," and received "slices." Even the package I received says "slices." So, only Amazon's warehouse doesn't know the difference. Annoying, since my intention each order was to add to nuts and fruit for a trail mix. But let's assume that the chunks I did NOT receive taste like the slices I DID receive. They're very fresh and soft, easy to eat. Delightful zingy ginger flavor, but sweet with crystalized sugar. Delicious for a snack at my desk at work. I'll happily order again - even if I keep receiving the wrong ginger iteration.

Ingredients say "All natural crystallized Ginger chunks" only. It doesn't include the sugar or the added sugar. At the very least, the ingredients should say "ginger" and "sugar" in my opinion and include the amount of added sugar. Also, the chunks are more like slices as the product label indicates and the actual product looks nothing like the pictures. I do not trust this company.
