Ginger Powder

Ginger Powder is made from dried, finely ground ginger root and delivers the warm, spicy, and slightly sweet flavor characteristic of fresh ginger in a convenient pantry-friendly form. Its bright, aromatic profile makes it a versatile ingredient in both cooking and baking.

Commonly used in curries, soups, marinades, and stir-fries, Ginger Powder adds a quick, reliable heat without the need for peeling or grating. In baking, it's a staple for gingerbread, cookies, cakes, and spice blends. Its clean, zesty flavor integrates easily into liquids, rubs, and dry mixes.

How to use it

Use half to one teaspoon in gingerbread, a spice cake, a masala chai blend or a dry rub for chicken, and a quarter teaspoon in a curry base once the onions have softened. A quarter teaspoon of the powder is roughly equivalent to a tablespoon of grated fresh ginger, though the flavour is warmer and less bright. Technique tip: reach for dried ginger where you want warmth through the whole dish and fresh where you want a sharp top note, since the two are not interchangeable in a stir fry.
