Ginger Root

I just went on low carb diet and I used to cut down fresh ginger root and boil it to drink as tea.

Does anyone know how much carb is in fresh ginger root ???

Just FYI, there's a carb counter online right here at this website. See the orange menu bar above, click on TOOLS (and enjoy).

Welcome to low-carbing gulla. I think you're our first member from Iceland.

I drink ginger tea upon occasion and I wouldn't worry too much about the carbs in ginger tea. Some of them will come out in the water but most will stay within the ginger.
