Ginger Root Powder 4 oz (Jengibre en Polvo) for Herbal Shots

Ginger root powder, 4 oz. Zingiber officinale, milled fine, one ingredient, organic or wildcrafted depending on the harvest, and known as jengibre en polvo in Spanish. Country of origin printed on the bag.

How to use it, and why the powder is different

Stir 1 to 2 teaspoons into 4 fl oz of boiling water, mix well, cover and let it stand 2 to 3 minutes, then drink as an herbal shot. That is the whole method. There is no peeling, no grating and no straining, because the root has already been dried and milled. Stir again before drinking, since powder settles. A little goes a long way, so start with one teaspoon.

What it tastes like

Warm, sweet and spicy, with the gentle heat at the back of the throat that ginger is known for. Dried ginger is warmer and less sharp than fresh, and a teaspoon of the powder goes further than a teaspoon of grated fresh root. It is taken as a small shot rather than sipped by the mug, and it is naturally caffeine free.

What is in the bag

Ginger root powder and nothing else. One ingredient, no fillers, no additives and no flow agents.

What ginger root powder is

Ginger is the knobby underground stem of Zingiber officinale, a tropical plant grown across Asia. This bag is that root, dried and milled to a fine powder. It is the same plant as the cut and sifted ginger root, in a form that dissolves into hot water instead of steeping in it.

Other ways it is used

Beyond the herbal shot, ginger root powder is traditionally prepared as a tea or a tincture. Both are on the label. Because it is a powder, it also stirs straight into smoothies, juices and cooking with nothing to strain out.

How many shots are in one bag

This is 4 oz, about 113 g, of milled root. At 1 teaspoon per shot and about 2.5 g per teaspoon, that is about 45 herbal shots. At 2 teaspoons per shot, about 22.

How to store it

Tightly closed in a dry place at room temperature, 59 to 86°F (15 to 30°C), as printed on the bag.

Frequently asked questions

How do you use ginger root powder?
Stir 1 to 2 teaspoons of the powder into 4 fl oz of boiling water, mix well, cover, and let it stand 2 to 3 minutes, then drink it as a shot. There is nothing to peel, grate or strain. Stir again before drinking. For a full cup of ginger tea brewed from the cut root, the method is in our ginger root tea guide.

What is the difference between this powder and the cut and sifted ginger root?
This bag is milled to a fine powder, so it stirs into hot water for a quick herbal shot with no grating and no straining. The cut and sifted ginger root is the same plant in dried pieces, which steeps for 5 to 10 minutes and needs a strainer. Choose the powder for speed and for smoothies, the cut root if you prefer to steep a pot.

Is ginger powder the same as ground ginger from the spice aisle?
It is the same plant, dried and milled. This bag is 4 oz of one ingredient with nothing added, sold as a loose herb, so you set the amount yourself for a shot, a tea or a recipe.
