FAQs
Can I use powdered ginger instead of fresh ginger?
Fresh ginger provides the best flavor and nutrients, but if you don’t have it, you can substitute with 1/4 teaspoon of powdered ginger. Adjust to taste.
Is it necessary to peel the carrots?
Peeling carrots is recommended for a smoother texture, but if they are well-washed and fresh, leaving the skin on is fine and adds extra nutrients.
