1 inch of ginger grated will produce about 4 teaspoons.
Ginger (Fresh) 1 tablespoon, grated or chopped equals a 1-inch piece
Avoid doing this. The proportions unbalance a recipe when you substitute ground for freshly grated ginger.
How much is 1 inch ginger in ounces
A one inch piece of fresh, grated ginger (generally yielding 1 tablespoon) equals approximately 1/8 teaspoon ground (dried) ginger. Source: http://www.evitamins.com/healthnotes.asp?ContentID=3602003
I would just use the same amount because ginger paste is basically really finely miced ginger. Maybe cut down a slight amount if your not a huge fan of ginger.
On average, 2 inches of ginger root weighs around 0.6 ounces or 17 grams. However, the weight can vary depending on the specific density and moisture content of the ginger.
When all else fails, go to "Joy of Cooking" --see "equivalents and or substitutions, and I quote: 1 Tsp raw ginger = 1/8 tsp pwd. This info is usually on the spice container, but I use a less expensive brand and it does not have the info. cmg
Dry is always more potent, as long as your spices are not old. If you have "fresh" dry ginger, 1 teaspoon would be the right amount to substitute for 2 tablespoons of fresh ginger. Since ginger is something that loses its potency in dry form very quickly, the best possible answer to this question is "to taste."
The term is for fresh ginger. What you do is get a real ginger root and measure it. One ginger root can be as big as 8 inches long, so you want a piece about as long as your finger. Then you can grate it into your recipe. Most US groceries carry it in the fresh produce department.
As much as you want. Ginger is not bad for you.
That depends on the panel.
