probably. my guess is that ginger root is the whole thing, and ground ginger would be chopped up/finely ground ginger root.
To substitute one teaspoon of fresh ginger (minced) use one half teaspoon of ground ginger.
yes, you can. The powder is just the dried out form of the root. Over time whatever you add it too will not have that fresh flavor
No. Crushed ginger is 'wet'. Ground Ginger is a powder. They are not the same thing. You can substitute but would need to change quantities and the taste would be different.
My recipe calls for fresh, chopped ginger, Can I use ground ginger & in what proportion. The recipe calls for 2 tsp. fresh chopped ginger?
