How to Make Ginger Powder
Ginger is such a big part of our diet that we always keep dried ginger at home for home remedies and cooking. I like fresh homemade ginger biscuits made with ginger powder and my whole family likes dried ginger and we take it in the form of tea, delicious ginger biscuits, dried ginger milk, etc.
Dried powder made with organic ginger has a nice smell and pungent taste that is never found with ordinary dried powder. We can’t get organic, good quality dried powder here so I always try to make my own dried powder with organic fresh ginger. The dried powder can be made very easily at home and it smells so fresh and inviting that you will feel like using it often.
I like to make small batches of dried ginger and store it in airtight boxes, thus the powder retains more long-lasting freshness. Many people peel the outer skin of ginger when making dried powder, but traditionally, it has always been made with peel and I continue to do so.
Ginger is also beneficial in diseases such as joint pain, cold-cough, digestive and general aches, as well as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Such virtuous ginger is nothing less than a boon for health. So come, today we will make ginger powder… which not only tastes delicious in food, as well as its priceless properties will have a beneficial effect on our health.

HOW TO KNOW THE GINGER IS READY
Whichever method you use, all you are looking for is completely dried ginger. It needs to be a ‘crunchy’ dry that snaps rather than bends.
Any moisture that remains in the ginger will become like a paste when ground instead of powder. This will also affect the life of the shelf – so make sure the ginger has no bends before moving on to the next step.
