Ginger (ground)

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.

Grinding reduces an ingredient to a fine, even texture that generally packs more densely than a whole or crushed form.
