About Spices, ginger, ground
Ground ginger is dried, powdered ginger root — warmer, sweeter and more mellow than the fiery fresh root, and a baking staple behind gingerbread, biscuits and spice cakes, as well as a quick shortcut in curries and marinades.
Like the fresh root, it's used in small amounts and isn't a meaningful source of calories, but it carries the bioactive compounds — chiefly gingerols and the dried-form shogaols — behind its warmth and ginger's long traditional reputation for settling the stomach and easing nausea.
Dried ginger and fresh ginger aren't quite interchangeable — the dried is warmer and less sharp — but a little of either brings a clean, spicy heat that lifts both sweet and savory cooking.
