What got me started on the ginger root was that I bought some crystallized ginger root at the health food store which is probably the same thing as glazed ginger, because it is loaded with sugar. You need to have something in it to be able to get it down.

I liked it so well that I bought more, and then I noticed that as long as I was snacking on the crystalized ginger I never got sick. And if I would start to get sick I could start eating the ginger root candy and knock it out in no time.

But then my health store closed, so I began experimenting with making my own ginger candy using ginger root and corn syrup.

After having my wife chip a tooth off from a batch I made that was too hard, and myself knocking off a couple of caps on my teeth that I had to have glued back on from batches that were too chewey, I have finally almost got it perfected.

So yes, you may be better off just buying some of the crystalized ginger root at the store, although putting a chunk of ginger root in a fruit drink or even a protein drink also works really well, and can be done using much less sugar than you will find in the crystallized ginger root since the fruit will provide a lot of the sugar needed to drown out the strong ginger root flavor.
