Ginger
Ginger is a tuber that is consumed whole as a delicacy, medicine, or spice. It is the rhizome of the plant Zingiber officinale. Fresh ginger can be substituted for ground ginger at a ratio of 6 to 1 (1/4 cup ginger root = 2 tsp. ground ginger), although the flavors of fresh and dried ginger are somewhat different. Ginger is native to Southern Asia and has long been a staple addition to Asian cuisines, but its use has spread around the world. The characteristic odor and flavor of ginger is caused by a mixture of zingerone, shogaols and gingerols, volatile oils that compose one to three percent of the weight of fresh ginger, mature ginger having the higher percentage. See the nutritional chart below.
