A Rare, Medicinal Ginger
This is not commodity ginger. It is a rare high-altitude heirloom, cultivated for generations and valued locally for its remarkable potency and restorative properties.
An All Women Team
For centuries, a small women-led farming community has safeguarded this ginger - an heirloom passed down through hands that know exactly when to harvest, how thin to slice, how long to dry.
Rich Agro-biodiversity
A diverse variety of pumpkin & chayotes are nurtured alongside ING Makhir plants. Khasi mandarins & maize are scattered across the farm, while pomelos & tamarillos are grown on the periphery.
Rain Soaked Hills
Only farmyard manure is added to the already fertile mountain soil of West Jaintia Hills. Abundant rainfall and an exceptional micro-climate makes Makhir Ginger one of a kind.

I've been enjoying and buying spices from Food Of Gods over the years , and having launched this new ginger spice alongside their range , I must say
after trying it , it's really really a fiery delicious ginger powder. Ive been enjoying using it in the mornings making ginger tea , I like adding two teaspoons and a half of this ginger powder to my mug of hot water, add some brown sugar and a dash of milk, it's just ever so uplifting, warming and nourishing. Instead of tumeric lattes , try making either hot or cold ginger tea lattes ! I love also adding it to my porridge oats , curries , green smoothies. This ginger powder will warm your mind, heart and soul , you will keep coming back for more and more. Thank you Food Of Gods and your farmers in India for this wonderful ginger spice powder. Much Gratitude and Love 🙏🏾💕
