Introduction:
Organic dried ginger is nothing but fresh ginger which undergoes a drying process before being used. The fresh rhizomes are soaked in water overnight after which the outer peel is carefully removed using a knife or a peeler. They have washed again and then sun-dried on mats or barbecues for around a week. During this period, they are turned periodically.
The end result is a pale white dried ginger. Many a time, dried ginger is bleached with calcium carbonate to get a whitish covering on ginger. However, this is not required and can be avoided. This ginger is then powdered in a mixer to obtain a dried ginger powder. It's a fine off whitish powder which has a strong aroma and slightly pungent flavor.
