Product Care & Storage Tips

To ensure the longevity and freshness of your fresh yellow ginger root, proper storage is key. Upon arrival, inspect the ginger for any soft spots or blemishes. For short-term storage (up to a week), you can keep the ginger unpeeled in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, it’s best to place the unpeeled ginger in a resealable plastic bag, squeezing out as much air as possible, and store it in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. This method can keep the ginger fresh for up to three weeks. Alternatively, you can freeze ginger for extended storage. Peel and finely chop or grate the ginger, then freeze it in small portions in an airtight container or freezer bag. Frozen ginger can be used directly in cooking without thawing.

When ready to use, peel the desired amount of ginger using a spoon or vegetable peeler. The skin is thin and easily removed. If you find the ginger has dried out slightly, a quick soak in cold water can sometimes rehydrate it, though it’s always best to use it when it’s at its freshest. Avoid leaving ginger exposed to open air at room temperature for extended periods, as this can cause it to dry out and lose its potency. Proper handling ensures you get the most out of your non-GMO ginger and its robust flavor. Maintaining its quality is crucial for culinary applications, and these tips will help preserve the pungent and aromatic qualities of this organic ginger root.
