Fresh torch ginger flowers should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness. Wrap them loosely in a damp paper towel and place them in a plastic bag or container. This helps prevent them from drying out. Use them within a few days for the best flavor and texture. Freezing is not recommended as it can significantly alter the texture and flavor.
