Can ground ginger be used in a recipe that calls for minced ginger?

Ground ginger can NOT be substituted for crystallized ginger--that is something quite different. Otherwise, you are fairly safe to use ground, minced, and grated ginger interchangeably unless the ginger is being used for garnish purposes (sushi, for instance). The thing to remember is that ground ginger is exponentially more potent than fresh ginger. Ultimately it comes down to a matter of personal taste, but I rarely use more than a few pinches of the ground stuff.

∙ 11y agoYes, but you will not use the same amount listed the recipe. It'd be like using shredded Parmesan instead of grated Parmesan. When ground, it takes up less space, so you will need to use more minced ginger. I'm not positive about the conversion, but it's usually something like 1Tbsp equals 1tsp for minced to ground conversions.

In beauty diy recipes facials etc...if the recipe calls for fresh ginger can you substitute with ground ginger and if so what's the ratio for ground to fresh?
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger for every 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger Start with the smaller amount (1/8 teaspoon) and taste your mixture. If you find that you want a stronger ginger flavor, you can gradually add more, up to 1/4 teaspoon, but be cautious not to overdo it, as ground ginger can quickly become overpowering. Keep in mind that the substitution may slightly alter the texture of your beauty DIY recipe, as fresh ginger adds some moisture, while ground ginger is dry. Adjust the consistency as needed by adding a small amount of water or another liquid to your mixture if necessary.

You can use either fresh or jarred, it doesn't really matter. I use jarred only if I have no time to chop it myself. Fresh always tastes better, tho!
