What Is a Ginger Chew?

A ginger chew is a soft, taffy-like candy made with real ginger and a natural sweetener—meant to be slowly chewed so the warming ginger flavor can coat your throat and deliver that classic “zing.” Unlike hard ginger candies, chews have a tender, stretchy texture that’s easy to enjoy anytime you want a quick, functional treat.

Are Ginger Chews Good for You?

In this ginger chews recipe, the chews get their feel-good upgrade from LĒVO-infused honey, combining spicy ginger with soothing sweetness for a snack that’s equal parts comforting and purposeful. Whether you’re dealing with seasonal sniffles, mild nausea, or just want a zesty pick-me-up, ginger chews are a simple, tasty way to work ginger and honey into your routine—one chew at a time.

Why We Use Ginger and Honey

Ginger is nature’s powerhouse, known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-nausea properties. Ginger has long been used to help ease digestion, fight colds, and support the immune system.

Honey is also packed with antioxidants and antimicrobial properties. Pair these two powerhouses, and you’ve got a flu-season remedy in sweet disguise.

What Are the Benefits of Ginger Chews?

If you don't know what ginger chews are good for, you might be in for a game-changing surprise. These are more than just a tasty treat—this ginger chews recipe creates a functional, feel-good snack that can support your wellness in multiple ways with active ingredients such as gingerol and shogaol.

• Soothe Sore Throats: The natural warmth of ginger helps ease throat irritation, making it a go-to remedy when you're feeling under the weather.
• Relieves Nausea: Thanks to its anti-nausea properties, using ginger chews for nausea relief is ideal when soothing an upset stomach and promoting digestive comfort. Use them to help soothe motion sickness while flying and riding in vehicles.
• Boost Immunity: With the added benefit of LĒVO-infused honey, ginger chews become a natural source of antioxidants and antimicrobial properties, giving your immune system the support it needs, especially during flu season.
• Reduce inflammation: Ginger is packed with anti-inflammatory compounds like gingerol and shogaol that can help ease muscle pain, arthritis, and even menstrual cramps, offering natural relief when you need it most.
• Menstrual Pain Relief: An article published in the National Library of Medicine suggests that oral ginger may be an effective treatment for menstrual pain associated with dysmenorrhea, supporting its use for menstrual cramps.

These homemade ginger chews are the perfect way to nourish your body while enjoying a zesty, sweet snack that works double-duty for both flavor and function.

The Infusion Advantage With LEVO

Infusing your honey with even more wellness-boosting herbs (like turmeric, echinacea, elderflower, or lemon balm) brings extra function to every chew. With LĒVO, you can effortlessly infuse your honey at the perfect time and temperature, no scorching, no mess.

Tip: We recommend using LĒVO II+ or Lux to dry your ginger and infuse your honey at 105°F for the optimal nutrient-preserving process.

Directions

LĒVO Prep

1. Insert magnetic stirrer into your LĒVO machine.

2. Load Herb Pod with coarsely chopped ginger. Run DRY cycle if using fresh ginger. Skip if using dried ginger.
3. Pour honey into the reservoir, ensuring ginger is fully submerged.
4. Set LĒVO to 105°F and infuse for 1–2 hours.
5. Once complete, dispense into a clean glass jar. Set aside ¼ cup for the chew recipe. Store the rest for tea, toast, or more chews later!

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine grated ginger and 2 cups of water. Bring to a gentle boil.

2. Simmer until reduced to 1 cup of liquid. Strain out the ginger.
3. Return the ginger water to the saucepan. Add sugar and ¼ cup infused honey.
4. Stir over medium heat until the mixture reaches 240°F (soft-ball stage), about 10–12 minutes. (Keep a close eye while stirring, honey can bubble quickly and burn if left unattended.)
5. Immediately pour into a parchment-lined bowl or dish. Let cool completely.
6. Once firm, cut into small pieces. Dust with starch to prevent sticking.
7. Roll into balls or leave as squares. Wrap individually in parchment if desired.
8. Store in an airtight jar at room temp for up to 2 weeks, or refrigerate for longer shelf life!

• Orange or lemon zest: Stir in before cooling for a citrus kick
