Ginger ground

Ginger comes from a rhizome that is the underground part of a stem and is closely related to the turmeric, cardamom, and galangal family. The unique fragrance of ground ginger is spicy but not sweet as fresh ginger and therefore does not work interchangeably. Use ginger powder in cakes, pastries, masalas, curries and stews. It can be used to make masala chai if you don’t have fresh ginger.
