Fresh ginger....?

[SassyDiva]

Hey gals,

Well tonight for the first time I've used fresh ginger...I love ginger but have always used it from a bottle..

Anyways, as it's a root veggie/spice I put it in my potato/onion rack in the pantry.. but now I've sliced the end off to use tonight..my question...Do you store it in the fridge or pantry.. Im thinking fridge, but I'd never put garlic in the fridge so am a bit confused..?

It's on the bench right now...lol.... so where should he live? :D

hey Mel, store it in a cool dark area, pantrys are good, just don't store it in a damp area, as it can grow fungus

fresh ginger is so scrummy

I always keep it in the fridge.

oh also mel, I think you can freeze it, only for a few mths though, its good to freeze if you don't use it much, just cut off the amount you need and put it back in the freezer
