Production & Sourcing
Steam-treated ground ginger is produced through a specialized process that involves steam treatment followed by drying and grinding. The objective of this process is to achieve a milder flavor and preserve the aromatic compounds in ginger. Here’s a simplified overview of how steam-treated ground ginger is made:
Preparation of Fresh Ginger:
Fresh ginger roots are cleaned, washed, and peeled to remove dirt and impurities. This prepares the ginger for the subsequent processing steps.
Steam Treatment:
The cleaned ginger is exposed to steam, which helps to soften the fibers and mellow the intense flavor. The steam treatment process involves subjecting the ginger to controlled steam, often for a short period. This step is crucial in reducing the pungency and spiciness of the ginger while retaining its aroma and some of its health benefits.
Drying:
After the steam treatment, the ginger is carefully dried using methods that preserve its flavor and aromatic compounds. Low-temperature drying techniques, such as air drying or controlled dehydrators, are employed to avoid the high heat that can degrade the ginger’s qualities.
Grinding:
Once the steam-treated ginger is fully dried, it is ground into a fine powder using grinding machines. This process breaks down the ginger into the desired particle size, creating the ground ginger powder that is ready for use.

Benefits
Steam-treated ground ginger maintains a milder and slightly sweeter flavor compared to conventionally dried ginger. The steam treatment process helps to temper the spiciness and intensity of the ginger’s flavor while retaining its distinctive warmth and aromatic qualities.
The texture of steam-treated ground ginger is typically fine and smooth, similar to conventionally dried ginger powder. The steam treatment doesn’t significantly affect its texture, making it suitable for various culinary applications.
Steam-treated ground ginger generally retains a light golden to pale yellow color, similar to conventionally dried ginger powder. The color alteration through steam treatment is minimal, ensuring that the powder still resembles the natural hue of ginger.
Steam-treated ground ginger maintains a similar nutritional profile to conventionally dried ginger. It contains bioactive compounds like gingerol, which can have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The steam treatment may help preserve some of the nutritional value due to its milder processing compared to high-heat drying methods.
Steam-treated ground ginger may have slightly higher moisture content compared to conventionally dried ginger powder due to the steam treatment process. This moisture can contribute to improved binding properties in recipes, making it suitable for creating sauces, marinades, and baked goods.
The steam treatment process helps preserve the aromatic compounds in ginger, providing a balanced and less overpowering aroma. The resulting ground ginger offers a nuanced fragrance that can enhance the sensory experience of dishes.
Due to its milder flavor profile, steam-treated ground ginger is often perceived as more balanced, making it suitable for dishes where a subtler ginger flavor is desired. It’s important to adjust the quantity used to achieve the desired level of flavor in recipes.
Steam-treated ground ginger can offer a delicate contrast to both sweet and savory dishes. Its less intense spiciness allows it to harmonize well with a broader range of ingredients, contributing depth without overshadowing other flavors.
While ginger is a widely used spice in various cuisines globally, the use of steam-treated ground ginger might be influenced by regions that have a preference for milder flavors or where steam treatment aligns with traditional cooking practices.
Steam-treated ground ginger can be considered suitable for a range of dietary preferences, including gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian diets. Its milder flavor might make it more appealing to those with sensitive palates or individuals seeking the benefits of ginger without the intensity. As with any ginger product, people with medical conditions or those taking medications should consult their healthcare provider before consumption.
