Are you sick of throwing away shrivelled up ginger root? Freeze it instead.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I came across this tip a couple of years ago, and it transformed my use of ginger.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I used to buy fresh ginger for recipes, and then later throw away the remains in a very sad state. I also always found it difficult to grate up in the fresh state as it\u2019s rather stringy.<\/p>\n

There are a bunch of websites out there talking about freezing ginger, but none seem to do it exactly like I do. If you prefer their methods though, go for it!<\/p>\n

Since I started doing this, I use ginger a lot more, as it\u2019s always there ready to use.<\/p>\n

Freezing the ginger:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Cut the ginger into large chunks that are reasonably straight and peelable<\/p>\n

\u2022 Peel the ginger with a vegetable peeler.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Put the chunks into a small snaplock bag<\/p>\n

\u2022 Squeeze out the air, seal it and throw it into the freezer<\/p>\n

Turmeric:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The same process works just as well for fresh turmeric, so my bag in the freezer usually has a bit of each.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nUsing the ginger or turmeric:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Take a chunk out of the freezer<\/p>\n

\u2022 Grate off however much you need<\/p>\n

\u2022 I like a microplane grater, but a regular grater will do<\/p>\n

\u2022 Put the rest back into the freezer<\/p>\n
