Kitchen Tip: Storing Ginger


How often is it that I go to the grocery store, buy a piece of ginger root to use in a recipe and actually use the whole piece? N.e.v.e.r.

This is the method that I use to store unused ginger.

1) using a potato peeler, I completely peel the outer skin off of the ginger.

 


2) Then I slice into 1-2in. pieces.

3) I wrap the individual pieces tightly in plastic wrap.  (I hate plastic wrap with a passion, but sometimes, its just necessary.)



4) Then once I have each piece securely wrapped, I place them into a baggie.  I store them in the freezer.  Frozen pieces of ginger root grate very easily! And they can last for several weeks.  :)
