Boost Immunity with These 15 Ginger-Powered Vegan Recipes – One Green Planet

Whether you love the spicy zing of ginger or you only prefer the spice in crispy cookie people, there’s no denying that ginger has some amazing health benefits. Ginger has been used for thousands of years as a healing agent because it contains curcumin, a potent which can reduce inflammation, improve mental health, and improve the sink. Curcumin is the same ingredient that gives turmeric its orangish pigment and is responsible for the tint of orange in raw ginger as well. Curcumin is difficult to absorb, however, which has led plenty of curcumin lovers to take the nutrient in supplement form.

With cold and flu season in full swing, it’s important to bulk up the immune system. For this reason, we’ve compiled a list of 15 of our favorite ginger recipes, courtesy of the Food Monster App.
