Ginger
in syrup
and crystallised ginger
Apart from the available dimensions, candied ginger is generally subdivided
into two product groups:
1. Ginger in syrup
This ginger has a standard syrup content of 10%. After draining
the ginger, it contains no more than 5% syrup. We can further reduce
this percentage, as well as the water activity (Aw level).

2. Crystallised ginger
Crystallised ginger is dried ginger where its sugar has formed crystals.
Its open structure allows easy processing or mixing into melanges. We
offer two types of crystallised ginger: the Import crystallised ginger
produced in Fi-Ji and the mild ‘Soft
Quality’ ginger.
The Soft Quality crystallised ginger is one of Eljap’s in-house products. It has a soft, smooth and sweet flavour. It is a delicious sweet that tastes perfect with a cup of coffee, and makes a great snack or even an after dinner treat. After all, ginger is good for digestion. Crystallised ginger and chocolate also make a good match.
From size 1-5 mm, we can offer you ginger both in syrup and as crystallised
ginger.
