4 Substitutes for Fresh Ginger in Green Detox Juice
1. Ground ginger
Ratio: 1/4 tsp ground per 1 tsp fresh grated
Earthier and less bright than fresh - perfectly fine in long-cooked dishes like curries and stews.
2. Frozen ginger (grated from frozen)
Ratio: 1:1
Frozen ginger grates beautifully and has the same flavour as fresh - the best substitute by far.
3. Ginger paste (jar)
Ratio: 1 tsp paste per 1 tsp grated fresh
Very convenient and reasonably close in flavour - quality varies by brand.
4. Galangal
Ratio: 1:1
A related root with a more piney, citrusy flavour - works in Thai dishes but noticeably different.
