Dried Ginger Slices (Gemmersnytjies) offer all the bold, warming intensity of our Ginger Chunks in a thinner, more delicate format that makes them easier to eat as a straight snack and more convenient to use in cooking. Layered with a light sugar coating that balances the natural fire of the ginger, these slices are a refined version of a classic South African padkos staple.
