Ginger (ground)
Zingiber officinale
Herbie's Spices Australian ginger powder is harvested when young producing a very high quality, aromatic ginger with lots of flavor.
Ginger gathered at this stage is less fibrous and has a sweeter taste than ginger which has been left in the ground long enough to become hot and coarse.

Usage Suggestions
Freeze-dried ginger powder retains the tang of freshly grated ginger and is ideal for using in uncooked dipping sauces and quickly prepared stir-fry dishes as a substitute for fresh ginger.
Ginger slices are used in clear soups and marinades when the flavor is to be infused and the pieces removed before serving.
