Ginger Powder

Ginger is a hot, aromatic spice. It is versatile, flavorful, and certainly a pantry essential.

Ginger spice has a peppery flavor, with hints of tart lemon and sweet honey.

Reach for ginger when preparing Eastern or Western cuisines, sweet desserts, and fusion experiments. Use it to flavor savory seafood, meat, and vegetable dishes in Indian, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Japanese cuisines. Use it in curries, marinades, and stir-fries.

For sweet treats, powdered ginger root can be used in the making of ginger candies and confectionary, and baked goods like gingerbread, gingersnaps, and spice cake. Add it to pancakes, stewed fruits, and pudding. Ground ginger is particularly useful for baking.

For a comforting evening drink, make a hot ginger tisane with honey and sliced orange or lemon added. Ginger is also one of the spices in the popular Indian tea drink, Masala Chai, which translates to “mixture of spices tea”

Ginger spice pairs well with citrus, sweet fruits, chocolate, chili spices, and so much more. Explore its varied flavor compatibility in your own world fusion dishes.

Ground ginger powder can keep for six months if properly stored in a cool, dark, airtight place.
