How many teaspoons of ginger in a half cup?

It's impossible to say exactly how many teaspoons of ginger are in a half cup without knowing the form of the ginger. Here's why:

* Fresh Ginger: Fresh ginger is a dense, knobby root. The amount of teaspoons in a half cup will depend on how finely you chop or grate it. A rough estimate is about 2-3 tablespoons of grated ginger, which equals 6-9 teaspoons.

* Ground Ginger: Ground ginger is a powder. A half cup of ground ginger is a lot! It's usually measured in tablespoons, not teaspoons.

To get an accurate measurement, it's best to use a measuring spoon or kitchen scale.
