Hey Everyone!! Happy Wellness Wednesday! This week I made a Blueberry Ginger Compote that would be fantastic on many different desserts. I think it would be amazing on Cheesecake or waffles. I added it a vanilla chia pudding and It was perfect with the creamy chia pudding.

I add ginger to the blueberry to add another depth of flavour and some added nutrients.

Ginger is one of spicest and most delicious spices. Ginger originated from south east Asia and is part of the Zingberaceae Family. Ginger contains “Gingerol “ which is a powerful substance that has been used ancient medicine and alternative medicine.

Here are a few amazing Ginger Benefits : Ginger can be effective at reducing the progression of muscle pain, and may reduce muscle soreness.

It is high in gingerol, a substance with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Ginger has been shown to lower blood sugar levels and improve various heart disease risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Ginger has been shown to relieve nausea and vomiting after surgery, and in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Gingerol, the bioactive substance in fresh ginger, can help lower the risk of infections.

Ginger is also a immune booster and has vitamins c, b3 and b6 along with minerals like magnesium and potassium.

How do you enjoy this delicious spice?
