Envelop yourself in the heat of this exotic, Eastern flavoring. Ginger has been used for centuries as a highly effective aid to digestion. But this flowering plant, which originated in the far East, is also a popular aphrodisiac, embraced by cultures around the world.
For example, ginger is used in India, mixed with eggs and honey, as a traditional treatment for impotence. And in traditional Eastern medicine it is beloved for its ability to improve circulation to hands, feet and, of course, throbbing loins. So…is it an aphrodisiac? I have heard rumor that, in the far reaches of the world, this root is even applied topically to enliven men’s fading desires.

Best ways to serve ginger
Now, this might seem like a lot of medicinal powers for one lowly seasoning. But one of its greatest proponents was “all knowing” Confucius. He supposedly added ginger to every meal. We love using this spicy root in our cooking, too. It can be used fresh, dried, powdered or even made into a juice. Sometimes, I even prefer adding it raw for extra bite. One of my favorite uses for this exotic root is this Turkey Congee with Cranberries.
Another renown proponent of of this mythical root, French legend Madame du Barry, made a practice of serving it to her lovers. Why? Because it was said to drive all, including her most famous lover, Louis XV, to a state of complete and utter submissiveness. Want to treat your lover to layers of this food of temptation?
