Victorian cook Sarah Nelson invented Grasmere Gingerbread® in 1854 in the English Lake District village from where it gets its name. A unique, spicy-sweet cross between a biscuit and cake, its reputation quickly spread and it is now enjoyed by food lovers all over the world.
Generally, ginger is safe for consumption by individuals with diabetes. It may also offer several health benefits that can support diabetes management. Evidence notes that ginger can be beneficial for digestive health and reducing nausea and vomiting.
Ginger cookies also contain significant amounts of sugar, thanks in part to the added table sugar and molasses that sweeten them. Eating 2 ounces of gingersnaps boosts your sugar intake by 11.3 grams, while gingerbread cookies contain 10.9 grams of sugar per serving.
Gingerbread's delightful combination of flavours and spices isn't just a treat for the taste buds; it's also a potential boon for your health. From its anti-inflammatory properties to its digestive benefits, gingerbread offers an unexpected array of advantages that can complement a well-rounded diet.
Grasmere Gingerbread® is perfect on its own or enjoyed with freshly-brewed coffee, mulled wine or warmed and served with ice cream, custard, yoghurt, stewed fruit or our own handmade Cumberland Rum Butter.
You may also freshen or warm Grasmere Gingerbread® by placing it on a baking sheet in a conventional oven, moderate heat for a few minutes. It can be frozen on the day of purchase/receipt; defrost as you would with slices of bread - just take out the number of slices you intend to eat on the day.
Candied ginger retains its medicinal and nutritional value, although it should be consumed in moderation given the amount of sugar. One piece of candied ginger can have 3 to 5 grams of sugar and about 20 calories.
Pickled ginger can be a flavourful, low-calorie addition to your diet. Be aware of the salt and sugar used to pickle and preserve it, though, and opt for versions that may be lower in these additives.
