McCormick Gourmet Ground Ginger is a premium spice made from hand-picked fresh ginger root, delivering sweet and zesty flavor with a hint of citrus. This finely ground ginger powder provides rich, bright flavor that's as close to fresh ginger as you can get, with the convenience of a ground spice.

Perfect for holiday baking, this ginger adds spicy warmth to cakes, pies, gingerbread, and cookies. Its sweet bite complements vegetables like carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes. Essential to Asian cuisine, it enhances stir-fries, soups, curries, chutneys, and chai tea. Use it in dry spice rubs for seasoning meat or chicken, in glazes for salmon or meatballs, or in syrups for poached fruit. The 6.5 oz Gourmet line contains higher essential oils than standard ground ginger, providing more intense flavor per serving.

Ingredients: Ginger and sulfiting agent (added to preserve color). Conversion: 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger equals 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger.
