FAQ
Is diced crystallized ginger the same as candied ginger?
Yes. Crystallized ginger and candied ginger are two names for the same product. Diced ginger is simply cut into small pieces.
What’s the difference between diced and sliced crystallized ginger?
Diced crystallized ginger comes in small, ready-to-use pieces that mix evenly into batters and doughs, while sliced ginger is thinner and flatter, which suits snacking or layering into baked goods.
Can I use crystallized ginger in place of fresh ginger?
Not always. Crystallized ginger is sweet and chewy, so it works best in baked goods, desserts, and snack mixes. For sauces or stir-fries that rely on the sharp bite of fresh ginger, fresh ginger is usually the better choice.
