Omega Ginger Powder: warm ground ginger for gingerbread, spice cakes, curries and chai. Single 1 kg pack.
Ginger powder is dried, ground ginger root with a warm, peppery sweetness. It is essential in gingerbread, ginger biscuits, spice cakes and pumpkin pie, and also seasons curries, stir-fries, marinades, chai and soups. It tastes different from fresh ginger, warmer and less zesty, so it is not always a direct swap. Combine it with cinnamon and nutmeg for baking blends. Ginger is a flowering plant whose rhizome, or root, is used as a spice; the powder is made from the dried rhizome. Keep ground ginger sealed and dry, as it loses its warmth and can clump in humid air. Ground ginger is a classic part of gingerbread men, parkin, ginger snaps and Christmas cakes, and in the Gulf and South Asia it is added to milk tea, karak and spiced coffee. It also seasons carrot soup, pumpkin dishes and roast duck.
