​​Biona introduces healthy new cooking paste ​​

Organic food supplier Biona launched a new organic Ginger and Turmeric paste which will be available to retailers from March onwards, with an RRP of £3.19.

Biona’s organic Ginger and Turmeric paste is a ready-to-use blend that caters to both convenience and wellness trends. The paste is made using organic ginger and turmeric, giving consumers no need to peel or chop, so simplifying their meal prep for popular dishes, like Indian or Malaysian-inspired curries.

Immune-fortifying foods like ginger and turmeric are currently in high demand, with a growing number of UK consumers understanding the potential health benefits of both. Ginger can play a part in aiding digestion, reducing inflammation and improving blood sugar levels. Turmeric on the other hand is a powerful antioxidant which protects human cells from damage as well providing other benefits to the body such as lowering cholesterol.

“With recent data from Nielsen once again confirming the positive growth trajectory for organic food sales, which are now outperforming non-organic, we’re excited to bring another sought-after and healthy organic option to market," said Carmen Ferguson, Brand Manager at Biona’s parent company Windmill Organics. "Scratch cooking continues to grow in popularity, and particularly South-East Asian-inspired scratch cooking, so we expect this new launch to be well-received by consumers.”
