What is the difference between ground ginger and fresh ginger?

Ground ginger is made from dried ginger root that has been finely milled to a powder, giving it a concentrated, steady flavour that is easy to measure. Fresh ginger has more moisture and a sharper, brighter heat, while ground ginger offers a deeper, mellow ginger taste that works particularly well in baking and long, slow-cooked dishes.

Can I use Fox’s Spices Ground Ginger instead of fresh ginger in recipes?

Yes, you can often swap ground ginger for fresh, especially in cakes, biscuits and sauces where a smooth texture is needed. As a general guide, ¼ teaspoon of ground ginger can replace about 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger, but you can adjust the amount to suit how strong you like the flavour in your cooking.

What dishes does ground ginger work best in?

Ground ginger is especially good in gingerbread, parkin, loaf cakes and spiced biscuits, where its gentle heat and sweetness come through clearly. It also works well in curries, tagines, stews and stir-fries, as well as in mulled drinks and spiced teas, making Fox’s Spices Ground Ginger 575g a very handy all-round spice cupboard staple.
