Definition
The pungent compound found in ginger root that gives it its characteristic hot, spicy flavor and many of its medicinal properties.
Etymology
From 'ginger' plus the chemical suffix '-ol' (indicating an alcohol compound), coined in the 19th century as chemists began isolating active compounds from plants.
Kelly Says
Gingerol is why ginger makes your mouth burn—it's the same type of compound that makes chili peppers hot, and your body reacts to it by releasing endorphins, which is why spicy food can literally make you feel better.
