Ginger has been a popular ingredient and herbal medicine for thousands of years in Asian, Indian, and Arabic herbal traditions. Fresh or dried, ginger´s spicy and strong taste brings life to your meals and also adds powerful benefits. Because of its gingerol, it can be used to prevent or treat nausea and vomiting from motion sickness, pregnancy, and in some cases cancer chemotherapy. It is also used to treat mild stomach upset, to reduce pain of osteoarthritis, and may even be used in heart disease and nasal allergies. Ongoing investigations suggest that it may help improve blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes. Ginger is rich in manganese, and has moderate amounts of magnesium and vitamin B6.

Not only are sesame seeds an excellent source of copper and a very good source of manganese, but they are also a good source of calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B1, zinc, molybdenum, selenium, and dietary fiber. In addition to these important nutrients, sesame seeds contain two unique substances: sesamin and sesamolin. Both of these substances belong to a group of special beneficial fibers called lignans, and have been shown to have a cholesterol-lowering effect in humans, and to prevent high blood pressure and increase vitamin E supplies in animals. Sesamin has also been found to protect the liver from oxidative damage.

Sriracha is a variety of hot sauce named after the coastal city of Si Racha, located in the Chonburi Province of Eastern Thailand, where it was first served at local seafood restaurants.  It is a paste made from distilled vinegar, sun-ripened chili peppers, garlic, salt, and sugar, and boasts a heat rating of 2,000 scoville units, making it less than half as hot as a jalapeño pepper, which can range from 2,500 to 10,000 units.  In Thailand, the sauce is sometimes known as sot Sriracha and other times only known as nam phrik (“fluid chili”) Sriracha.
