Crystallized Ginger

Preserved Ginger that is drained and rolled in coarse or fine white sugar.

Also known as Crystallized Stem Ginger.

Many people like to just gorge on this whole out of the package. One of the largest companies in the world for making Crystallized Ginger is in Australia (as of 2004.) It's called Buderim Ginger. When chopping Crystallized Ginger, it may stick a lot to your knife. If this happens, you can put the knife under running hot water (or dip it in a bowl of hot water), or oil it with a neutral oil.1/4 cup finely chopped Crystallized Ginger = 1 tablespoon of freshly-grated ginger plus few pinches of sugar (or more, if you wish) = 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 cup, coarsely chopped = 1.5 oz / 40g

Store indefinitely in sealed container. You can also freeze for up to 1 year (set out to thaw 3 hours before you need it.)
