food and drink non alcoholic beveragesIs ground ginger the same as grated ginger?
Accordingly, can I use ground ginger instead of grated ginger?
Fresh Ginger Root Substitute Ground ginger is much more concentrated in flavor than fresh, so use 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger for every tablespoon of fresh ginger that your recipe calls for. This is a good substitute if you object to the shape or bite of fresh ginger.
Besides, how much ground ginger equals grated ginger?
The information we have on substitutions varies, from 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger for each 1/8 teaspoon of ground ginger to 1 teaspoon of minced fresh ginger for each 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger.
Grating Ginger The easiest way to grate ginger is to keep a knob of ginger wrapped in plastic in your freezer. When you need some grated ginger, pull it out of the freezer, scrape away the peel (if you want, it's not really necessary) of the area you want to grate, and grate the ginger with a microplane grater.
