3. Which type of ginger is best, dried ginger or fresh ginger?
The drying process of fresh ginger increases its antioxidant content by removing water. However, this does not mean that fresh ginger is completely lacking in antioxidants, but that antioxidant levels are reduced when used in cooking.
Additionally, a study published in PubMed Central investigated the effects of fresh and dried ginger on respiratory viruses in human cells. Findings indicate that fresh ginger may help protect the respiratory system, while dried ginger does not provide the same effect.
Furthermore, Dr. Archana Batra said that to solve the problems of flu, cold, cough and seasonal respiratory diseases, you should choose dry ginger water or tea instead of fresh ginger water.
Thus, both dried ginger and fresh ginger have good health effects. However, when used for different purposes and for different cases, priority should be given to choosing the more effective type of ginger for the treatment process to be maximally effective.
