Ginger Root - Super Tasty and Very Healthy!

Using the Fresh and Ground Ginger Root

There are multiple ways of using the root. You can use it fresh or dried, pickled or crystallized and ground or candied.

And you'll find it used in starters and appetizers, main courses, desserts and puddings.

When cooking, I usually just use the fresh root or ground powder. Fresh is excellent in most curries and stir fry recipes and I nearly always use the ground powder in my curry powders and masala blends.

As I mentioned above, as tasty as this spice is, there are also numerous health benefits, which is another excellent reason to get more of it into your diet.
