What is ginger powder?
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a rhizome, an underground stem, grated and dried then ground into powder. Dry, it takes on a light beige to pale yellow shade, different from fresh ginger, which is more fibrous and lighter in colour. Its aroma is warm and spicy, with a slightly lemony note.
How to use it?
A pinch is enough to flavour a tagine, a couscous, a meat or chicken marinade, or a curry, added rather at the end of cooking. In baking, it goes into gingerbread, biscuits and cakes. The label also presents it as an infusion plant: mix half a teaspoon into hot water, possibly with lemon. As the powder is more concentrated than fresh ginger, dose it gradually.
