Logging Ginger Root: what to know

This is raw ginger root, listed by the teaspoon, by slices and by the quarter cup, so match the unit to how you cut it. Energy is 80 kcal per 100 g, but the amounts people use are small, so a teaspoon is a tiny entry. Ground ginger, pickled ginger and ginger candy are separate foods with their own numbers.
