Ginger

WE ARE PROUD OF PROVIDING THE BEST GINGER

We provide high-quality Tanzania ginger  to the local and export markets. We source the raw fresh Tanzania ginger from family growers in the country.

Tanzania ginger (Zingiber officinale) or Tangawizi in Swahili is a spice whose misshapen rhizome pickles meals, flavors tea and serves as a traditional cure. The rhizome comes from a false stem that reaches around 100 centimeters high with thin, blade-like leaves that resemble grass. The distinctly yellow flowers emerge from beautifully intertwined green petals on top of the false stem.

We source Tanzania ginger from all over the country, especially in Same district in the Kigoma, Western Region. We go for family growers with small patches of land of less than two acres that they easily manage with farmyard manure. 

Our harvest time for Tanzania ginger falls between March to July. Depending on your need but We wait until the leaves have changed from green to yellow while the pseudo-stem has wilted and fallen. We then use spades to remove the soil around the rhizomes shallowly. This is followed by gentle hoisting of the entire plant from the soil, together with its fibrous roots. We keep the roots in baskets and then cart them away to the sorting bay.
