  What is the difference between Minced, Grated and Sushi ginger?

  Minced Ginger is finely minced almost like a puree. It should be used as a replacement for fresh ginger in any recipe.

  Grated Ginger contains thin slivers of ginger or shoe-string cut. The Grated Ginger is a pickled product in a sugar and natural rice vinegar brine. It can be used as an ingredient in sauces, salad dressings, and cold salads such as tuna salad, coleslaw or potato salad.

  Natural Pickled Sushi Ginger is an all natural version of the thinly sliced pink ginger that is traditionally served with sushi in Japanese restaurants. It does not contain any artificial dyes or preservatives. It has the same pickled flavor as the Grated Ginger.

  Does Ginger Spread need to be refrigerated?

  Our Ginger Spread does not require refrigeration once opened.

  How long do Ginger Juice, Ginger Sauces, and Pantry Essentials last once opened?

  As with most condiments, ginger juice and our ginger sauces won't spoil after opening within 3 to 4 months under refrigeration. However, we don't recommend keeping opened product longer than 3 to 4 months. Ginger juice may lose it wonderful flavor and potency over time, much like horseradish.
