TRS Minced Ginger Paste 300g

TRS Minced Ginger Paste is another convenient product from the TRS brand, widely used in cooking to save time when fresh ginger is not readily available. Like the garlic paste, the ginger version is made from fresh ginger that is minced and blended into a smooth paste, often with some preservatives to keep it fresh.
TRS Minced Ginger Paste
Ingredients
Common ingredients include:
Fresh ginger (minced or pureed)
Water or oil (for texture and smoothness)
Preservatives (such as citric acid or sodium benzoate)
Salt (sometimes included to enhance flavor)
Uses
Ginger paste is widely used in a variety of cuisines, particularly Indian and Asian cooking. Here are some common uses:
Curry bases: Essential in creating a flavorful base for many Indian curries, used alongside garlic paste.
Stir-fries: Adds a fresh, spicy kick to vegetable, meat, or tofu stir-fries.
Marinades: Mixed with spices, it helps tenderize meat while adding aromatic flavor.
Soups and stews: Boosts the flavor of broths and adds warmth.
Chutneys and sauces: Blends well in chutneys, dips, and sauces for a zesty touch.
Tea or drinks: Some even use ginger paste to brew ginger tea or add it to smoothies for health benefits.
Benefits
Convenience: Ready-to-use, no need for peeling or grating ginger.
Time-saving: Especially useful in recipes that call for both ginger and garlic, which are often used together.
Consistent flavor: Provides the same level of flavor without variations in freshness.
Storage and Shelf Life
Unopened: It can be stored for a long period (often 6-12 months) in a cool, dry place.
Opened: Once opened, it should be refrigerated, and it’s best to use it within 4-6 weeks for optimal flavor.
Substitutes
If you run out of minced ginger paste, you can use:
Fresh ginger: 1 teaspoon of ginger paste is roughly equivalent to a 1-inch piece of fresh ginger.
Ground ginger: In a pinch, ¼ teaspoon of ground ginger can substitute for 1 teaspoon of ginger paste, though it lacks the fresh taste and aroma.
Combination Use
Often, TRS ginger paste is used together with TRS garlic paste in recipes, as these two ingredients complement each other well in many dishes, especially Indian and Asian curries.
Health Benefits
Ginger is known for its medicinal properties, particularly for aiding digestion, reducing nausea, and fighting inflammation. Using ginger paste in recipes allows you to incorporate these health benefits into your daily meals easily.
