Ginger varieties and best uses
The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common ginger varieties compare.
| Variety | Best for |
|---|---|
| Mature | Everyday cooking and juicing: firm, pungent, tan-skinned, the year-round standard. |
| Young (Spring) | Pickling and fresh use: thin pale skin, milder and juicier. |
| Baby | Raw grating and garnish: tender early harvest, sweet and stringless. |
Which should I pick?
For everyday cooking and juicing, Mature ginger (the tan-skinned root sold year-round) is the default: firm, pungent, and widely stocked. No mature ginger? Young (Spring) ginger has thin pale skin and a milder, juicier flesh, good for pickling and fresh use. Baby ginger is the tender early harvest, sweet and stringless for raw grating.
