Do you use ginger in your cooking? You should! There are so many delicious recipes and unique uses for ginger, and it comes in a few recognizable forms.
- Ground ginger is more commonly used in recipes like ginger cookies and cakes.
- Fresh ginger, which comes in surprisingly fun-shaped pieces, is used for things like candied ginger, ginger syrup and tea. Fresh ginger can be substituted for ground ginger at a ratio of 6 to 1.
Ginger can be tricky to peel with all its bumps and irregularities. Rather than using a paring knife or vegetable peeler, reach for the spoon. Scrape it against the skin and it'll come right off, following every contour and minimizing waste.
