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.
