Ginger And The Bread

Tweet

I do enjoy gingerbread. Didn't care for it much as a child. It is of the Zingiberaceae family in which cardamon, turmeric and galangal also belong. It has many medicinal uses. It helps with the digestive system. It will improve the immune system and helps with nausea and the common cold. Reduces muscle pain, joint inflammation, stops the growth of bacteria, can help in Alzheimer's with reversing the plaque deposition in the brain, can help in reducing the chances of developing certain cancers, can help reduce the cholesterol in the blood, and can reduce pain of menstruation. But, it is also good in bread. I was trying to find something to keep my grandson busy over the two weeks he will be home from school. I come across a list of gingerbread options. There were trailer parks, mansions, trains, villages, all manner of ideas. I came across some that were ninja gingerbread men. You could cut out the men in different stances. Pretty cute. So I got a kit for him and his mom to bake one day. Should be interesting.
