Ginger Powder – 100% Pure Dried Sonth | PureRoots

₨ 529

Fresh ginger root, peeled, machine-dried and milled fine. Warm and pungent, with no starch or filler.

PureRoots ginger powder is fresh root, peeled, dried and milled to a fine pale powder. This is sonth — the same thing your grandmother kept in a steel dabba — with nothing added and nothing extended.

Fresh ginger is a nuisance to keep. It dries out on the counter, goes mouldy in a bag, and sprouts if you forget it. A sealed pouch of powder holds the same warmth for a year and needs no grating.

Machine-dried, not sun-dried

Ginger is fibrous and dense, so it dries slowly. Slowly, in the open, means days on a tray — long enough for surface mould to start on a humid night and for dust to work into the cut faces.

A chamber does the same job in hours at even heat. Every slice reaches the same dryness, so the mill produces a consistent grade instead of a mix of powder and stringy fibre.

How to use ginger powder

In chai. A quarter teaspoon per cup, added with the tea leaves. No grating, no fibres in the strainer.
In kadha. With honey and warm water, the standard winter drink at home.
In bakes. Gingerbread, cakes, biscuits — powder is what those recipes are written for.
In dry masalas and sweets. Panjiri, ladoos, chutney powders, and any masala you grind at home.

Taste and texture

Warm and dry rather than juicy-hot — drying shifts ginger’s heat from the front of the tongue to the back of the throat, which is why sonth suits tea and bakes better than fresh ginger does. Fine, pale, no fibre.
