Sources vary. One source says 1 tbsp fresh equals 1/4 tsp ground, another says 1 tbsp fresh equals 1/8 tsp ground (half as much!). So I translate them to either 1/12 tsp of ground or even less (because there are three teaspoons in a tablespoon). How about a few shakes from the jar? That's what I do when the recipe says one teaspoon freshly ground and it hasn't ruined anything yet.

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.

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.
