Grated ginger is a term used to describe small, thin pieces or shreds of raw ginger that have been cut into very fine slices using a grater. This process allows for easy incorporation of ginger into various dishes and beverages as it adds both flavor and heat. Grated ginger can be used in cooking, baking, marinades or simply added to water to make a soothing tea. It is also commonly found in many Asian cuisines such as Japanese, Korean, and Chinese foods.
