Guangdong Sand Ginger – Whole Dried Sha Jiang (Kencur) Spice for Chinese Braised Meat, Hot Pot & Spice Blends

Guangdong Sha Jiang (Sand Ginger) – Premium Dried Kencur, Origin Direct

Fragrant, peppery, and uniquely aromatic – our Guangdong sand ginger (Sha Jiang) is sourced directly from the warm, humid growing regions of Guangdong Province, where the fertile red soil produces rhizomes with an intensely complex scent: floral, camphor-like, with a warm gingery bite. A cornerstone of Cantonese and Sichuan spice blends, Sha Jiang adds an irreplaceable depth to braised meats, roasted chicken, and master stocks.
