About Ginger Density

Fresh ginger root is fibrous and juicy. When finely chopped or grated, it includes air gaps between shreds, so its effective cooking density is about 0.40 g/ml. That means one cup of tightly packed grated ginger weighs roughly 96 g. Coarser chopping or loosely packed ginger will weigh less per cup; very finely grated, tightly packed ginger can weigh slightly more.

Cooking & Usage Tips

• Peel ginger with the edge of a spoon for minimal waste.
• For smooth sauces and marinades, use grated ginger instead of chopped.
• Freezing ginger makes grating easier and extends shelf life—grate straight from frozen.
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger ≈ 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger in flavor strength (approximate).
