Ginger Powder

The fresh ginger rhizome is thick, knobby, and pale yellow. Ginger Powder retains a light yellow color with a somewhat fibrous texture.

Powder ginger is made by drying and grinding the rhizome of the ginger plant. It most likely originated in China, although the exact origin is unknown, as it has been cultivated for so many thousands of years. It thrives in a tropical climate, and is one of the most consumed spices in the world. The top world producer of ginger is India, followed by China, Indonesia, Nigeria, Thailand, and the Philippines.
