Flavor Face-Off
As this page from The Spruce Eats shows, ginger has a strong, spicy taste. It’s fresh and fiery, with hints of citrus and pepper. This makes it great for dishes where you want ginger to be a main flavor, like in Asian marinades or salad dressings.
Ground ginger is milder and sweeter. It’s good for baking because it blends well with other spices. You might use it in things like gingerbread or pumpkin pie.
Dorot Gardens’ ginger cubes are really handy. They give you all of the flavor of fresh ginger without the time-consuming peeling and chopping. The cubes are flash-frozen to keep all the good stuff and the flavor in the ginger, and they’re super easy to use – just pop one out of the pack when you need it, drop it into the pan, pot or mixing bowl, and you’re done!
Cooking Convenience
Fresh ginger can be tricky to prepare. You have to peel and grate it, which takes time and can be messy. However, as we’ve seen, Dorot Gardens’ cubes solve this problem – just add them straight into your recipe – no prep needed!
Here’s an extra tip, too: Our cubes are pre-portioned, and one Dorot Gardens ginger cube equals about one teaspoon of freshly grated ginger. It may sound like a small step, but it really makes judging how much ginger you need and following recipes easier.
Versatility in the Kitchen
Ground ginger is great for baking. It mixes well into cake batters and cookie doughs. It’s also used in spice mixes for things like pumpkin pie spice.
Crushed ginger is better for savory dishes. It’s perfect for stir-fries, soups, and marinades. The moist, fibrous texture adds a nice bite to dishes, and an interesting note of mouthfeel too..
Dorot Gardens’ ginger cubes are super versatile though, and so you can use them in cooking and baking. They’re great for making quick ginger tea or adding a little warming kick to smoothies too!
Storage and Shelf Life
Fresh ginger only lasts 1-2 weeks in the fridge. But Dorot Gardens’ ginger cubes can be stored in the freezer for up to two years, meaning you always have fresh-tasting ginger ready to use.
The Verdict
When it comes to comparing crushed ginger vs ground ginger, both are incredibly useful in cooking. Ground ginger is great for baking and spice mixes. But Dorot Gardens’ ginger cubes are super convenient and versatile. They give you fresh ginger flavor without any prep work.
Whether you’re already a great cook, or a newcomer to the joys of home cooking, Dorot Gardens’ ginger cubes are a smart choice. They make it easy to add ginger flavor to lots of different dishes. Having fresh ginger ready to use can inspire you to try new recipes and make healthier meals.
