Ginger Chews

by megan on February 2, 2009

I tried a great product this weekend, and I wanted to share it with you all. These chews are made by The Ginger People. I have seen these in stores, and finally decided to try them. I could not resist the cute little ginger character on the package. :) The verdict: AWESOME! These ginger chews are sweet and spicy, and almost have a gingerbread taste to them. They are the perfect sweet treat after a meal. Not only are they yummy, they also offer digestive aid and are full of antioxidants, magnesium, potassium, B-vitamins and zinc. I guess you can call them healthy candies. They also come in spicy apple, peanut, and coffee flavors. I can’t find the coffee flavor in my stores, but I bet the coffee ginger chews are amazing! Has anyone else tried these?

I’m very interested in these! I wonder if I could find them around me…digestive aids are always a plus and that package is to die for!

I’ve always been intrigued by these! I’m so glad you wrote a review, I will pick some up now.
It would be a perfect “dessert”!

About the Maple Sugar: My mom ordered it online from a local farmer’s market but I know you can get it at Whole Foods.

They sound good! I haven’t seen them before.

Digestive aid? Really? Wow, I want to try these!

I’ll have to be on the lookout for these the next time I do a cross-border shopping excursion (which might be this week!).

I’ve never seen them before, but I will keep an eye out. When I was a kid I used to eat my moms candied ginger. When she wasn’t looking anyway. :)

I haven’t seen these – but if I do I will certainly check them out! The little ginger guy is so cute!

YUM! I love ginger and those sound great! I don’t think I’ve ever seen them though…have to be on the lookout.

Thanks for your wonderful comments on my blog :D

YUM! I’ve seen those too and have wondered… now I know!

Ginger is also a fantastic aid when you’re nauseated, or motion sick. On cruises they sell these to people who are seasick! I have a bunch just for that reason, I love ginger candy!

ooh~ candied ginger is also good mixed in with cream cheese and apricot jam and slathered over a thick bagel!
do you just eat yours as snack?

I haven’t tried them yet – but now between the health benefits and how yummy they sound, how could I not want to go out and get them ;)

Oooh–these might be the answer to post-dinner snacking! Healthy and sweet!! I’ll check it out, thanks Meg!

Sara February 2, 2009 at 6:10 pm

I haven’t tried them, but I’ve seen them in the store before. I need to pick some up!

Laurie February 2, 2009 at 7:25 pm

I tried them recently too and completely agree with your review!

Love the litle ginger guy!

I LOVE THEM!! At Christmas I got a sweet little jar of Ginger Babies, they make Ginger Syrup, and their packaging is so cute…yeah I love them!

I love these – of course they wouldn’t be available in Canada but I’m leaving for Florida in a week and plan to source them. Thanks for the great tip.

Lori February 3, 2009 at 8:10 pm

Interesting. I hear ginger is good for motion sickness which I get a lot. I love ginger – pickled ginger at the Japanese restaurant, ginger beer. Yum!

have you ever tried Reeds Ginger Beer or Reeds ginger chews? They are my favorite soda and candy- so spicy and sweet and all-natural/guilt free (nearly!) I asked for them for Christmas this year (and got them, too)!
