Ginger (crystallised chopped)

Ginger is a spicy, aromatic rhizome with a warm, slightly sweet heat, used fresh, dried, ground, pickled, or candied across many cuisines. Fresh ginger is grated, sliced, or minced into stir-fries, curries, marinades, and baked goods, while dried ground ginger has a more concentrated, less bright flavour suited to baking. Its fibrous texture means fresh ginger is often grated finely or its juice extracted for smoother incorporation into a dish.

Chopping the crystallised form breaks the sugar-coated pieces into smaller fragments that pack more densely than whole pieces.
