What Are Some Of The Best Uses For Powdered Ginger

Powdered ginger is a great way to add that unmistakable depth of spice that fresh ginger contributes, but with an added level of convenience. Unlike many other ingredients, fresh isn’t necessarily best when it comes to ginger root. Ginger powder is made from pure, dried ginger root. Thus, it is simply more a more concentrated version of all the same great flavor attributes.

Fresh ginger isn’t particularly adored for its preparation complexities, nor its textural properties, so powdered ginger is typically what most bakers have on hand, but when it comes to savory recipes, it can really go either way. We’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite ginger recipes that don’t require baking.

What Are Some Of The Best Uses For Powdered Ginger

Ginger, Lemongrass, and Saffron Chicken Soup

Ginger and chicken soup are two of the most commonly-used natural remedies to get us through cold and flu season. This soup contains both of them, plus collagen rich bone-broth, and antioxidant-rich ingredients like lemongrass and saffron, making it a dish that everyone should have in their recipe repertoire.

Ginger Apple Tisane

Ginger and apple are a classic pairing for desserts and ciders so we decided to carry it on to a delicious gut-healing tisane that can be enjoyed hot or cold. It’s incredibly simple to make and is a fantastic addition to your dietary routine.

Easy Palak Paneer

Palak paneer is a stewed spinach dish that is comforting and delicious. With large pieces of creamy grilled cheese to balance the spices and acidity of the spinach, it might just be the perfect vegetable dish to serve as-is or over basmati rice for a slightly heavier dish.

Chai Latte Energy Balls

It doesn’t get any better than Chai spice mix, so it really shouldn’t be reserved for beverages alone.These no-bake protein-packed energy balls are loaded with that beloved fragrant spice blend found in morning tea lattes, and served as nutrient-dense, easy-to-pop bites to supply a burst of natural energy when needed.
