What is the equivalent?

Question

A recipe I'd like to try calls for 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger. I'd like to use ground, dried, ginger. What is the equivalent to 1 tablespoon. Will it taste the same or just as good?

Answer 1

"Ground ginger isn't a good substitute for fresh, but dried whole ginger will work in a pinch, as will the minced or puréed ginger that's sold in jars."
Equivalents: 1 tablespoon fresh = ¼ teaspoon ground

Answer 2

Ground ginger isn't a good substitute for fresh, but dried whole ginger will work in a pinch, as will the minced or puréed ginger that's sold in jars.

Equivalents: 1 tablespoon fresh = ¼ teaspoon ground

Answer 3

I"m not sure exactly what the equivalent is. Check allrecipes.com to find out. But no, the flavor will not be the same. Ground ginger is good, but fresh ginger is AMAZING! It has a lemony zing as well as that gingery bite, and tastes so different from dried ground ginger as to make you think it's a different spice altogether.

Answer 4

hello,
1/8 of a teaspoon of dried ginger = 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger.
I t will still taste good,

Answer 5

dried ginger is much hotter than fresh so you you definitely have to use less. can't tell what's exact equivalent, but i'd use around 1/8 of required amount. however taste of dried ginger is slightly different as well, so if receipe requires fresh, it's best to use fresh.

Answer 6

You may use the dried grounded ginger based on the same amount indicated in your recipe. It will have the same result.

Answer 7

if i was you i would add the 1 tbsp and then a 1/2 tablespoon of the dry as fresh ginger to me is a little stronger...but it will come out ok.......

Answer 8

Dried herbs are generally stronger than fresh. I would put in 1 teaspoon then taste, you can always add more.
