Dried ginger has a more intense flavor than fresh ginger. The exact ratio of how much ginger powder to use in place of fresh ginger depends on both your preference for how much of its strong, peppery flavor you want in your dish as well as the potency, age, and quality of the spice itself.
Dry ginger powder can soothe stomach irritation, headache, and the common cold. It also revs up metabolism and has anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, ginger powder is effective for weight loss, flatulence, urinary infections, migraine, and acne. You can also mix it with baking soda for skin cleansing.
