I just realized that I had some ginger root in the refrigerator. I had been having severe nausea for several days, so I bought it to make candied ginger. Of course, I forgot I bought it. Because that’s what I do.

If you’ve ever eaten candied ginger, you probably know it’s pretty yummy stuff. You may not know that it’s good for upset tummies, it fights inflammation (making it good for pain), and some think it can even fight certain types of cancer.
