Question: what is the difference between ginger root and ginger?
Answer: "Ginger or ginger root is the rhizome of the plant Zingiber officinale, consumed as a delicacy, medicine, or spice." If you write ginger too many times it doesn't look like a word anymore. Ginger root is the root itself. ... Ginger, the spice, is just dried ginger root ground into a powder.
