Ginger Powder

Ginger powder or ground ginger is a better alternative than fresh ginger:
- One kg of ground ginger is made of 4 kg fresh ginger, so you can use dry ginger only a quarter as you used the fresh one.
- Ground ginger has much longer shelf life up to 3 years if you keep it refrigerated
- It contents higher essential oil than fresh ginger
- Ground ginger has a more intense flavor than fresh ginger
- Ground ginger can be used as ingredient of many food and beverages
- Ground ginger is allowed to import in many countries with standard customs clearance and plant quarantine processes. Whereas, fresh ginger is considered as high risk of biosecurity by certain countries such as Australia, because fresh ginger can be used to grow ginger (like seeds). Therefore, in certain countries like Australia and New Zealand, importing fresh ginger must comply with very strict regulation and procedures.

Ginger powder is not intended to consume raw. It's meant to be cooked or as ingredient for food and beverages products such as ginger ale, hot coffee and tea, ginger candy, ginger bread, etc.
