About GINGER PASTE, GINGER
Simple Truth Ginger Paste is a packaged ginger condiment sold under The Kroger Co.'s Simple Truth sub-brand, which focuses on natural, organic, and clean-label products free from artificial preservatives, colors, and flavors. The product provides a convenient pre-processed ginger base for cooking, eliminating the need to peel and mince fresh ginger root.
The primary ingredient is ginger paste, which is ground fresh ginger. Vinegar serves as a natural preservative and acidulant. Salt enhances flavor and also contributes to preservation. Sugar is present in a small quantity for flavor balance. Potassium sorbate functions as an antimicrobial preservative. Citric acid acts as an additional acidulant and antioxidant. Xanthan gum provides the thick, paste-like consistency needed for easy scooping and spread.
The nutritional profile on a per-100-gram basis shows 167 calories, 66.67 grams of carbohydrates, zero protein, and zero fat — a composition that reflects the concentrated sugar and starch content of the product, likely influenced by the ginger paste base combined with added sugar and the acidulating agents. Fiber data is not available in this database entry.
Despite the Simple Truth brand's natural positioning, potassium sorbate is present, which is a synthetic preservative; however, it is commonly accepted in natural food categories and is included on the FDA's GRAS list. No artificial colors or flavors are used. No major U.S. allergens are declared. The product is suitable for vegans and vegetarians, and is gluten-free. Useful for Indian, Southeast Asian, and fusion cooking applications.
