While fresh ginger is generally used in cooking, ground ginger is spicier and has pungent aroma, making it especially good for baking and for use in drinks.

Ginger is an ancient spice whose precise origins are unknown. Some trace its history to China, while others believe it was first grown in the tropical lowland forests spanning from Southern Asia to the Indian subcontinent, where it is still cultivated today.

Use ground ginger for delicious gingerbread or ginger snap cookies, teas, and drinks like gingerbeer or gingerale.

Fun fact- Queen Elizabeth the First of England is credited for coming up with the invention of the gingerbread man. She had them made to resemble visiting high ranking persons, and then presented it to them as a gift.
