I bought a bag of fresh ginger (4 oz) so I googled Taste of Home to see how to store it.

Ginger can stay on the counter out of direct sunlight and in a cool place for a couple of days.

In the fridge. Rinse, dry, put in freezer zip lock bag squeezing all the air out. May add a damp paper towel to keep ginger from drying out. Will last a month in the fridge.

To freeze. Rinse, dry, put in freezer zip lock bag squeezing all the air out. Will last many months.

I also found out that ginger skin is edible and has nutrients. I used some of the ginger in a recipe and peeled only one bad place and grated the ginger without peeling. So much easier than peeling all of the ginger and it's healthier too.

Thank you Sara, that is great information. Ginger isn't easy to find and then I use just a little bit of it. This will help me save it for next time instead of throwing it away!

I freeze ginger and grate it frozen with my handy dandy ginger grater. So much easier and faster than trying to grate it unfrozen. I love ginger and it is supposed to be good for you and anti-inflammatory.
