All about ginger
If you substitute powdered ginger for fresh ginger root you don't know what you are missing! Fresh ginger enhances both the flavor and fragrance in recipes that call for it. Fresh ginger can be found in the produce department of most supermarkets. Generally you can buy whatever size piece you want by breaking off a piece from a ginger root. To store or preserve the ginger that you are not using immediately, simply place it in a glass jar (I use an empty, clean pint size mayonnaise jar) and cover it with dry sherry and place the jar in the refrigerator. The ginger will remain fresh for up to 6 months. Whenever you need some of the ginger remove a piece from the jar and peel it with a knife. Depending upon what your recipe requires, chop, slice or grate the ginger. My favorite way to grate ginger is to use a microplane.
