Store Ginger in the Freezer — It Grates More Easily Frozen

Fresh ginger is wonderful but frustrating. It dries out or gets moldy in the fridge within a week or two. The solution is to store it in the freezer. Wrap it in plastic or toss it in a freezer bag — it lasts for months.

The bonus: frozen ginger grates beautifully on a microplane. The fibers do not clog the grater like they do when it is fresh, and you do not even need to peel it — the skin grates right off. Just take it out, grate what you need, and put it back. Faster, cleaner, zero waste.
