Tanzania ginger (Zingiber officinale) or tangawizi in Swahili is a
spice whose misshapen rhizome pickles meals, flavors tea and serves
as a traditional cure. Usually, dirty brown, the edible root of
Tanzania ginger is a common sight in town markets.
We source Tanzania ginger from all over the country, especially in
Same district in the Kilimanjaro vicinity, Tanga, Morogoro and the
coast. We go for family growers with small patches of land of less
than two acres that they easily manage with farmyard manure.
