Crystalized sugar, which is also known as candied ginger and glace ginger, is simply fresh ginger that has been slowly cooked in sugar and water and then rolled over coarse sugar to help preserve it. Crysyalized ginger has a wonderfully sweet yet spicy flavour and is very popular in desserts. Because of the high sugar content, you should be cautious of how much you eat. However, compared to regular sweets, crystalized ginger does have benefits as it does not contain any additives or dyes. Ginger has also been shown to reduce to the symptoms of nausea, vomiting and stomach upset.
