What to confirm before ordering
- Gingerol and shogaol values change with drying and storage. Ask for the analytical profile at release, not just the target.

What is the minimum order, lead time, and sample size?
1 kg minimum, packed in a 1 kg foil pouch; bulk drums are available as quantities scale. 1–7 days after specification and order confirmation. Samples are typically 100–500 g with their own COA, usually within 3–5 business days after the specification is agreed.
