Root & Fruit began as part of our own daily ritual. We made a little for ourselves, and then family and friends tried it and loved it. So we started making more, and more, and now we share it with you.
We still make it the same way: in small batches here in Singapore, with fresh ginger, wild ginseng, and dried fruits, flowers and spices we choose with care. We simmer everything slowly into a thick, concentrated paste, sweetened only with honey.
No refined sugar, no synthetic preservatives. Just whole ingredients you can recognise, made for everyday use.
A short list of ingredients most people in Singapore already know from home kitchens and herbal shops. We chose them for flavour, tradition, and gentle everyday support.
All 17 ingredients.
