Well it doesn't have to be, which is a bit of a theme here at Elements for Life, bringing you amazing food and simple recipes that are good for you. This simple recipe for cyrstalised ginger uses our amazing Coconut Palm Sugar, so you end up with a great tasting low GI, diabetic friendly treat

3. Spread out on a bit of baking sheet and place somewhere warm (such as the airing cupboard, on a radiator or in the window if it's hot n sunny) to dry for up to 48 hours

We guarantee you won't have tasted crystalised ginger quite like this before. It's lovely as it is, but can be used as a filling for your raw chocolates.

You can make it more or less fiery by adding more or less root ginger, simple as that.
