Recipe: Crystallized Ginger. Spicy and sweet, crystallized ginger can add a wonderful zing to cookies, cakes, ice cream, and cranberry sauce. We also like it finely chopped and sprinkled over savory dishes like roasted acorn squash and pumpkin soup. Chewing on the ginger treat can even help soothe an upset stomach. Although a jar of it can be outrageously expensive at the store, crystallized (or candied) ginger is quite simple to make at home.
Crystallized ginger can be made at home or purchased in most health food stores. According the U.S. Department of Agriculture Nutrient Data Laboratory, 1 ounce of ginger root contains only 22 calories and under 1 gram of sugar. One ounce of crystallized ginger has 100 calories and 21 grams of sugar. Candied ginger typically contains 5 grams more sugar per serving than gummy candies. High amounts of sugar cause blood glucose to rise and over time may lead to diabetes.
