10 Ways to Enjoy: Ginger Spread
Sometimes you might come across a product at the Co-op and ask, "That looks good, but how in the heck can I use it in my cooking?" To answer that question, we picked this Ginger Spread made by The Ginger People (famous for their Gin-Gin candies). Grab a jar and try some of these unique applications in your own kitchen - or get inspired to utilize it in another way.

- Create a quick and easy coleslaw: shred some cabbage and carrots, throw in some curry powder, a bit of apple cider vinegar and ginger spread to serve as a side dish or on pulled pork.
- Elevate your tea or create your own drink by stirring a teaspoon of spread into a cup of hot tea or water.
- Mix in with some sparkling water to create your own ginger soda.
- How about spicy sweet nuts? Glaze walnuts, pecans, cashews or other favorite, then roast for 10 min at 350 degrees in the oven.
- Skip the chocolate sauce and stir ginger spread into your ice cream, instead.
- Ginger complements carrots fantastically - spice up your next carrot cake.
- A dollop will add big flavor to your smoothies.
- Use it as your base in a stir fry with some veggies and shrimp.
- Quick salad dressing: ginger spread, vinegar and a bit of mayo and mustard.
- Use as a glaze on chicken breast, a pork roast, or other proteins.
