ground ginger

Dried spice powder

Ground ginger is the dried rhizome of the ginger plant, pulverized into a fine powder.

It appears in baking and spice blends—gingerbread, pumpkin pie spice, curry powder.

Ground ginger tastes sharper and less bright than fresh ginger, and the two don't substitute equally: The recipe calls for a teaspoon of ground ginger.
