About Ginger, dried, ground

Dried ground ginger is the powdered form of dried ginger rhizome. It is usually tan to light brown, finely milled, and dry, with a warm, pungent aroma and a flavour that is sharper and less fresh-tasting than that of fresh ginger.

It is used in baking, spice mixtures, sauces, and other preparations where a dry spice is convenient. The powder disperses through dry ingredients and can thicken or cloud liquids; whole dried pieces and freshly grated ginger are distinct forms and are not direct texture equivalents.
