More and more housewives began to use ginger in their kitchens. Some people season their culinary masterpieces with it, others lose weight with the help of ginger root, others undergo treatment. No matter how you use ginger, you need to store it correctly in order to preserve its beneficial qualities as much as possible, and not be upset that the root has withered or rotted. We’ll talk about whether it can be frozen and how to do it correctly in this article.
There are several ways to freeze ginger. All these methods are equally good, and you just have to choose which one will be more convenient for you.
Freezing the whole root
Ginger root has an irregular shape with tendrils that may have dirt or other debris between them. Wash the root thoroughly, you can even rub it with a brush. Then pat dry with paper towels, wrap tightly in cling foil, and seal in a ziplock bag. Ginger root is ready for long-term freezing.
Freezing Chopped Ginger Root
Wash the root in the same way, peel it and cut it into strips or rings, as you like.
Pack your cuts into ziplock bags as tightly as possible, and try to get all the air out of the bag before zipping it up and putting it in the freezer.
Freezing grated ginger
Peel the ginger and grate it on a fine grater.
Form balls from the resulting slurry, place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, cover the top with cling film and freeze them a little.
Then place the balls in bags or in a container with a lid.
The shelf life of ginger in the freezer, under favorable conditions, is 6 months.
