About DRIED CANDIED GINGER, SWEETENED

Market Pantry Dried Candied Ginger, Sweetened is a pantry staple and confection from Target's Market Pantry everyday value brand. It sits at the intersection of the candy and baking ingredients categories, with the USDA classifying it under candy. Candied ginger is one of the oldest preserved foods, combining fresh ginger root with sugar through a slow-cooking crystallization process.

The ingredient list is two items: ginger and cane sugar. No corn syrup, no artificial flavors, no sulfites, no added colors, no preservatives. Cane sugar rather than generic refined sugar aligns with a slightly premium sourcing approach for a value brand item. The simplicity makes this product appropriate for consumers seeking minimal processing in their pantry ingredients.

Allergen profile: none. Free of all major allergens. Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free. Ginger is not a recognized allergen under FALCPA or FASTER Act. Sulfite-free — important for asthma and sulfite-sensitive consumers.

Nutrition per 100 g: 367 calories, 0 g protein, 0 g fat, 90 g carbohydrates, 3.3 g fiber. Essentially pure carbohydrate from sugar and ginger's natural content. A 30 g serving is about 110 calories. Beyond snacking, dried candied ginger has wide culinary applications: stir into baked goods (gingerbread, shortbread, cookies), chop into oatmeal or yogurt, use as a topping for pumpkin or squash soup, or steep in hot water as a digestive tea. Ginger's bioactive compound gingerol has documented anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory properties, though most is reduced during the candying process.
