Sigh, unfortunately candied ginger isn't good for you. Even though ginger itself has lots of health benefits, candied ginger is so high in sugar that it is bad for your bone heath and teeth. But as far as candy goes it's healthier than other types of candy. Candied ginger is typically made by boiling it in sugar water and then dehydrating it. So it has lots of sugar, but lacks the horrible chemicals found in most candy. If you want some candy you can enjoy candied ginger in moderation. Just make sure to brush your teeth right after!
