How much dry ground ginger do I substitute for fresh grated ginger

substitutions

I don't use ginger enough to really justify getting it fresh, so how much of dried ground ginger should I use in recipes that call for fresh grated?

Best Answer

Fresh ginger and dried ginger are very different, the flavour, texture and properties are not overly similar that they can not readily be substituted for each other.

Having said that, in the instances where they can be substituted I have seen estimated from 8:1 up to 6:1 (fresh:dried).
