Using Ground Ginger

Members Were Sparked

By using ground ginger, you can cut the amount of sugar you use by half. I use 1/4 teapspoon of ginger and reduce the sugar by a cup. It still taste just as good as the ginger makes you taste sweetness without adding sugar.

Ginger & Garlic Paste

I purée equal amounts of fresh garlic and ginger. In a storage container this will last forever in your fridge, easy to add these healthy ingredients to salad dressings, stir fry or other dishes!

MORE INFORMATION:
I used to buy fresh ginger but after I used some, the remaining piece would go bad, now I don't waste money on spoiled ginger and except for sweet foods, ginger/garlic is a great combination in many recipes.
