In 1989, Founder and CEO Chris Reed had a vision to dose the world with ginger. “I strongly believe in the healing power of ginger. People have been using ginger for at least 40 centuries according to the first written records on the use of medicinal herbs,” he said. “During our 25 years of pushing ginger, there has been acceleration in the number of medical research studies on ginger showing new uses besides the traditional ones for digestive complaints, nausea and soreness in general. I bet my career that people would switch to more healthy foods and grow more conscious of what they are putting into their bodies. I see this trend continuing without stop into the future with ginger becoming increasingly more important. It has been fulfilling to be part of this huge shift.”
Reed’s vision became reality by pioneering many products with ginger, resulting in 10 million pounds of ginger in the U.S. diet.
