Sooth is allowed instead of ginger

Yes — sooth / saunth (dry ginger powder) is generally considered allowed in Jain diet, while fresh ginger is not allowed because it is a root vegetable.

In short:

• Fresh ginger → not allowed
• Dry ginger powder (sooth / saunth) → usually allowed

But if it is mixed with any forbidden ingredients or prepared in a non-Jain way, then it should be avoided.

Jai Jinendra.
