A Valentine's Day to remember

If you’re feeling like the tangy, slightly lemony taste of ginger brings promises of a wild night, it's mainly because this famous root plays with our feelings like no other.

While it's classed as a 'cooling' spice, ginger nonetheless slips suddenly into warm, even pungent notes. On the palate, its lemony flavours titillate the taste buds, and soon after it's the peppery effect that takes hold.

Wow, it certainly is striking! The ebbs and flows are what make ginger so magical... just like a relationship!
