From the same family of plants as turmeric, cardamom and galangal (also called "Thai ginger"), ginger is an important spice for both sweet and savory applications. Ginger is a plump rhizome (underground stem) that adds sweetness and heat to Asian dishes and brings out the natural sweetness of starchy vegetables like squash. This finely-ground ginger powder is perfect for any application.
Spices and herbs should be stored away from light, heat and moisture. However, storing spices in the refrigerator or freezer may actually shorten their shelf life and they risk picking up other food odors. In general, whole spices have a longer shelf life than ground spices. Depending on the spice and how well it is stored, a good rule of thumb is six months to a year for powdered spices and longer for whole spices and seeds. The best way to determine if your spices or herbs are still fresh is to close your eyes and sniff – if you cannot immediately tell what the herb or spice is, toss it!
