Ginger, ground

Ground ginger is the dried, powdered underground stem of the ginger plant, used as a spice in cooking and baking. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 60g per 100g, alongside 14g of fibre and 47mg of iron. Its energy content is 1208 kJ per 100g.

Carbohydrate supplies energy, while fibre supports normal bowel function. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body. Ground ginger is generally used in small amounts, so its contribution to nutrient and energy intake is much smaller than the figures per 100g suggest. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
