DESCRIPTION
- The flavor of fresh ginger is slightly peppery and sweet, with a pungent and spicy aroma.
- Much like garlic, fresh ginger mellows with cooking and turns bitter if burned.
- The ground form is not as strongly flavored but has a warm bite and a little sweetness.
- he flavor of ginger is often labeled as spicy, peppery, and either warm or hot.
- I also find it a bit sweet. Young ginger is very juicy, and has a much mellower flavor.
