% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.
Fat Composition
The suggested total fat consumption should be limited to 30% of total energy intake or less. The type of fat consumed should primarily be unsaturated fatty acids, with no more than 10% of total energy intake coming from saturated fatty acids (about 200 calories on a 2000-calorie diet) and no more than 1% of total energy intake coming from trans-fatty acids.

📚 Health Research & Evidence About This Food
Research demonstrates that ginger, including its ground dry form, exhibits significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties by reducing oxidative stress and suppressing inflammatory pathways like COX-2 and NF-κB, as noted by NCBI. Moreover, orally consumed ginger has strong antiemetic effects, particularly for pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting, with its mechanism possibly involving gastrointestinal and central nervous system effects by inhibiting serotonin receptors, according to PubMed. Ginger ground dry has also shown synergistic anti-obesity effects in high-fat diet-induced obese mice when combined with *Citrus aurantium L. var. amara*, notably preventing weight gain and improving lipid profiles.
