Ginger granules are small, dried pieces of ginger root that have been ground into a coarse powder or granulated form. They are used as a spice in cooking and baking, offering a convenient way to add the distinct, warm, and slightly spicy flavor of ginger to dishes without the need for fresh ginger. Ginger granules can be used in various recipes, including soups, stews, marinades, sauces, and baked goods. They are often favored for their longer shelf life and ease of use compared to fresh ginger.
