In cooking you will find ginger in two forms: fresh and ground. Fresh ginger root is potent with a strong acrid flavor unlike ground powder which is milder and can be slightly sweet. The fresh version adds a unique and essential flavor explosion to many dishes.

The problem is that fresh ginger root doesn’t last longer than two or three weeks at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Often you’ll find that it’s gone bad or shrivelled up into a lump. This is especially true if you’ve sliced or grated some of it. The good news is that you can preserve your fresh ginger by freezing it and the process is very simple.
