Wakaya Perfection Organic Ginger is hand-cultivated in Wakaya Island’s rich volcanic soil which contains elevated nutrient levels.  Only caring hands — no machinery — touch our ginger crops. Our ginger is oven-dried at a regulated minimal temperature to ensure zero heat loss of the vital properties. Most retail ginger is steeped with pesticides; on Wakaya we do not believe in this technique. Our product is the purest and most potent ginger available because we hand-cultivate it and only use natural irrigation methods.
