Ginger is well known for its medicinal properties and is used in cooking all over the world. Drying and grinding ginger can help you preserve it longer and make it easier to use in different recipes. In this blog, we will show you how to dry and grind ginger.
1. Selecting ginger
First, choose fresh ginger. The ginger should be firm, wrinkle-free, and free of mold. Avoid choosing ginger that has started to rot as this will affect its taste and quality.
2. Cleaning the ginger
Next, wash the ginger thoroughly under running water. Use a brush to gently clean the ginger skin. Remember that ginger is a root and therefore contains dirt. Proper washing will remove any dirt or debris from the skin.
3. Peeling the ginger
After washing, use a vegetable peeler to remove the ginger skin. If you don't have a peeler, you can also use the back of a spoon to scrape the ginger skin off. Remember to remove all the skin as this will make it dry unevenly.
4. Slicing the ginger
After peeling the ginger, slice it into thin slices. Slicing the ginger helps it dry faster and more evenly. Make sure the slices are uniform and equal in size.
5. Drying ginger
After slicing, spread the ginger slices on a continuous mesh belt dryer, which can continuously dry the sliced ginger slices. It conveys the ginger slices through multiple layers of mesh belts, and hot air passes through the mesh belts from the bottom or side to take away moisture, achieving the effect of fast and uniform drying.
6. Grinding ginger
After drying, the ginger slices will become crispy. Cut them into small pieces and grind them using a coffee food processor. Then store the ground ginger in a sealed container.
In short, drying ginger and grinding it is a simple process, make sure to select fresh ginger, wash and peel it, slice it evenly, dry it and grind it. If you want to start a ginger powder processing business, you can always contact us, we can provide a complete ginger powder processing line,
