Question 1

Does this product contain sulphur, or anything other than ginger and sugar?  Thanks!

Accepted Answer

Yes, it contains Sulphur Dioxide, many dried fruits do, including the raisins or dates in your dry cereals, trail mixes and Christmas fruits. Sulphur dioxide has been used since the time of the Roman Empire, documented, and probably well before that. Because of its antimicrobial properties and ability to prevent oxidation, in Europe, it is called E220, which helps to prevent rot, it is actually quite beneficial. At least it is not a fossil fuel bi-product.

Question 2

Do you test or have any idea how much lead is in your product? California has requested a recall on crystalized ginger because of this issue.

Accepted Answer

I hope there's none!  Ginger is from Thailand, but packaging is in the US.  Can we trust that the FDA inspects for lead?  I doubt the ginger is organic.  Could that be the source of lead?  Please keep all of us in formed!  I've been using the product for more than 8 months without signs (at least no one has told me) of lead poisoning!

Question 3

Don't see nutritional information label- how much sugar does it have per serving?

Accepted Answer

Hello Michael,The label on the package I have says that there is 23 grams of "sugars" per 28 gram serving.  I'm assuming that the 23 grams is composed of both added sugars and sugars present in the ginger itself.  It's a high percentage, but I only use the ginger in limited quantities and times in baking ---with occasional direct eating of the ginger.  Hope this answers your question.  Cheers,  David

Question 4

Why is the product listed as one pound but the shipping weight is 14.4 ounces. The last time I checked, one pound was 16 ounces.

Accepted Answer

Don't know.  I bought the 3 lb. bag (that is the weight on the bag also) and got Amazon's fab. free shipping.  Didn't even look at the shipping weight.
