What can we say, they are divine. A good 'no nasties' product. Minimally processed, using naturally gluten free flours, vegetarian friendly, non GMO, GE free ... a no-nut ginger-nut [“(g.-nut, small cake of g.-b, Du. koek cake); g.-race, a root of g.;” Pocket Oxford Dictionary (4th ed. '52)]

Referred to as EATRIGHT® Gingerchoc's or, sometimes, EATRIGHT® Gingernuts in kiwiland. But, due to their softer texture compared with biscuit crunch, they are considered a "cookie" [coo n. soft voice] not another "OO" or "00" strangeness (Calcu-LATIN-g; Formu-LATIN-g; Re-LATIN-g; Trans-LATIN-g; Accumu-LATIN-g; Extrapo-LATIN-g c/- Inf-LATIN-g; Valu-LATIN-g).

Both fresh (raw, shredded, green-vert, protease I (GP-I), protease II (GP-II)) ginger and sundried ginger powder are used for their carminative, diaphoretic and other benefits such as ANTICATARACT activity (phytochemID: Ascorbic-Acid 350 mg/day, Curcumin, Cysteine, Methionine, Niacin, Quercetin, Riboflavin 15 mg/day, Selenium 400 ug/day, Thiamin, Zinc 30 mg/day). [A ginger family member] "estimated to contain 5,000 chemicals, all biologically active… 50,000 as technologies improve by 2020. Many medicinal plants in this world....spices average best medicinally often provably as efficacious as synthetic pharmaceuticals, and almost always safer and cheaper"; Reductionist Rant: Spice Therapy, J.Duke PhD, Botany, "NC" (pub. Dec'11).

The native bush honey ('LIQUID GOLD...a much-prized source') [†], like all New Zealand honeys (from registered bee-keepers and hives), are subject to rigorous standards and regulations. "Beehives are often located in areas where bees are foraging over vast and remote areas that are pure and [chemically] clean"... EATRIGHT® More [micro] Benefits in Every Bite™

Monograph Cacao semen, Bundesanzeiger, no. 40 (February 27, 1991).
