A one inch piece of fresh, grated ginger (generally yielding 1 tablespoon) equals approximately 1/8 teaspoon ground (dried) ginger. Source: http://www.evitamins.com/healthnotes.asp?ContentID=3602003
Ginger (Fresh) 1 tablespoon, grated or chopped equals a 1-inch piece
It is a spice
Avoid doing this. The proportions unbalance a recipe when you substitute ground for freshly grated ginger.
1 inch of ginger grated will produce about 4 teaspoons.
When all else fails, go to "Joy of Cooking" --see "equivalents and or substitutions, and I quote: 1 Tsp raw ginger = 1/8 tsp pwd. This info is usually on the spice container, but I use a less expensive brand and it does not have the info. cmg
Herbs and spices (like ginger) have so few calories that they are essentially counted as being "calorie free". It is usually less than 5 calories per serving.
1 tablespoon ginger root the same as 1 tablespoon of ginger paste
Stem ginger is taken fresh and preserved in sugar syrup. It has a different taste than root ginger which is usually allowed to dry somewhat and is grated or ground and put in to dishes and also a very famous cola #1.
I would just use the same amount because ginger paste is basically really finely miced ginger. Maybe cut down a slight amount if your not a huge fan of ginger.
Ginger and mint both help reduce nausea and can be taken as a tea. Just steep some bruised mint leaves or grated fresh ginger in boiling water for about 5 minutes.
Dry is always more potent, as long as your spices are not old. If you have "fresh" dry ginger, 1 teaspoon would be the right amount to substitute for 2 tablespoons of fresh ginger. Since ginger is something that loses its potency in dry form very quickly, the best possible answer to this question is "to taste."
