Ginger is a root that, due to its properties, is a real treasure trove of useful substances.

It helps fight colds, improves digestion and is actively used in cooking.

Let's figure out how to properly store ginger depending on how you use it.

How to Store Fresh Ginger

It is not enough to simply put fresh root in the refrigerator and expect it to last for weeks.

The correct way to do this is to place the ginger root in an airtight container or sealed plastic bag and place it in the refrigerator.

This method allows you to preserve ginger for one month.

If you have slices of peeled ginger left, then the shelf life of the root is significantly reduced, but it can be preserved.

It is necessary to wrap it tightly in cling film - so as to block the air access to it. Store the remaining ginger in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator for no more than three weeks.
