Preserved Ginger, or Jeruk Halia, is a popular Malaysian snack made from young ginger slices that are pickled in a sweet and tangy syrup. The ginger maintains its zesty, spicy flavor while being mellowed by the sweetness of sugar and the acidity of vinegar. This treat is often consumed as a refreshing snack or side dish, believed to aid in digestion and provide a natural remedy for nausea. It is commonly enjoyed with rice or as an accompaniment to various meals, offering a balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors. Jeruk Halia is a traditional favorite in Southeast Asian cuisine, valued for its unique taste and health benefits.
