Description: Organic Ginger Essential Oil CO2 is produced by steam distillation of dried ground rhizomes of Zingiber officinale (Roscoe) (Zingiberaceae). Ginger oil extracted by CO2 extraction method yeilds pure essential oils compared to the steam distillation method. Ginger is commonly used as a spice, and it has its origins in India. It forms an crucial part of many Asian cuisines due to its digestive properties. It is especially helpful in digesting food items and it is frequently added to recipes for cooking meat as it softens the meat considerably, making it easier to digest. Organic Ginger oil CO2 is extracted from the roots of the plant (rhizomes, actually), a knotty-looking tuber that varies in color, depending on the soil and climate it is grown in. Though the flowers and the stalks are also highly aromatic, it is only the rhizomes that are used for essential oil production. Steam distilled from the whole, unpeeled rhizomes, it can be made from a fresh, dried or ground-up source. Each source has slightly different aromatics, the dried roots being more earthy, while the fresh ground root is more spicy. It presents as a clear, medium-yellow colored thin liquid.
