Storage Tips
Grated ginger is best stored properly to maintain its potency and prevent spoilage. Store fresh, grated ginger in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze it in small portions. Spread the ginger on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag or container. Frozen grated ginger can be added directly to dishes without thawing.
