buying the pre processed food is always a crap shoot. You never know
what else you are getting with your powdered ginger. There could be a
gluten cross contamination, there could be rat/roach droppings mixed
in with it. If a person can but a natural food that can be washed with
soap and water before it is processed and immediately eaten or stored
then that is always the smart thing to do. Besides it only takes a few
minutes if labor.
