What Form of Ginger Do These Values Use?
This conversion is intended for fresh ginger root with the peel removed. Chop the edible ginger into small pieces and place them loosely in the measuring cup.
It does not apply to ground dried ginger, crystallized ginger or prepared ginger paste. These products have different densities and should be measured separately.
Does Grated Ginger Weigh the Same?
Grated ginger can pack more tightly than chopped ginger and may therefore weigh more per cup. Finely grated ginger also releases juice that fills some of the spaces between the pieces.
Use this converter for chopped fresh ginger. If a recipe specifically requests grated ginger, measure or weigh it after grating.
Should Fresh Ginger Be Peeled?
Young ginger may have very thin skin, but mature ginger usually has a tougher peel. This conversion is based on the edible ginger after the peel has been removed.
Peeling before measuring also prevents the discarded skin from being included in the recipe weight.
Is Ginger Paste Equivalent to Fresh Ginger?
No. Ginger paste is finely processed and may contain oil, water, salt or preservatives. It contains fewer air spaces than loosely chopped ginger and can weigh considerably more per cup.
Follow the product label or recipe instructions when using ginger paste instead of fresh ginger.
How to Measure Chopped Ginger
- Peel the amount of ginger needed for the recipe.
- Trim away dry, tough or damaged sections.
- Chop the ginger into reasonably even pieces.
- Place the pieces loosely in the measuring cup without pressing them down.
- Use a kitchen scale when the recipe provides grams.
