Ginger is a spice that comes with a whole lot of health benefits. Right from curing nausea to a sore throat, it is a great remedy. It also contains gingerol, that has powerful anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Ginger is one of the most delicious and healthiest spices.
It is a staple ingredient in my cooking right from my morning chai to meal prep curry sauce. In fact, Ayurveda calls this spice as "Hridya or the Heart- friendly herb" as it prevents the clogging of arteries and improves blood circulation. Overall, Ginger is a great immunity booster.
I shared before how you can cut ginger in various ways to use in any recipe. In this post, you will learn how to buy and store ginger the right way.
What is Ginger?
Ginger is known as Adrak in Hindi and it is a must-have spice in Indian cooking. It has a pungent aroma with a woody flavor. Ginger has a slightly brown outer layer with yellow to tan inner flesh. It also has a zesty, sweet yet warm and spicy taste.
Ginger pairs well with a broad range of flavors starting from sweet to spicy. It pairs well with baked goods while giving out an exotic aroma. Also, it adds the right amount of heat and zing in savory dishes. When added to beverages, ginger gives out a spicy and warm flavor that soothes our throats right from the first sip.
Ginger is a gnarled root quite uneven in shape and texture. The hand of ginger has many protrusions as shown in the picture above. The protrusions are usually referred to as knobs of ginger.
Sometimes you might find recipes call for a knob of ginger. Consider it to be about 5 centimeter or 2 inches long. A thumb of ginger is considered about an inch long.
Alternatively, you can also use ginger powder if you are out of fresh ginger. However, you cannot substitute it as an equal measure of fresh ginger. Use about ¼ teaspoon ginger powder for 1 tablespoon fresh ginger. When cooking you can it them just like you would add the other spice powders.
Health Benefits of Ginger
Ginger is a spice that has so many wonderful health and medicinal benefits:
- It has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties
- It helps in alleviating morning sickness and nausea
- Ginger helps in improving digestion and prevents gas build-up
- It is a staple remedy for cold and flu across the world
- It is a good source of anti-oxidants
Where to Buy Ginger?
You can buy ginger at your local Indian grocery store.
This is usually sourced from China, and the ginger is bigger in size, than what you might have seen if you grew up in India.
You can also find organic ginger at stores such as Costco, Trader Joes, or Whole Foods. It is quite similar in size and taste to what is used in India. I prefer to get this organic ginger, as it has more zing and flavor to it. There is also the added plus that I can also skip peeling if it is organic ginger root.
I typically buy the large bag of organic ginger from Costco, as I use it a lot in my cooking and morning tea. I use the various ways mentioned below to make sure it stays fresh and can be used for a long time.
How to Store Fresh Ginger?
Fresh ginger root can be stored in the refrigerator or in the freezer. You can either store it as a whole root or as a ginger paste. But before doing either of these methods, you need to first wash the root in running water. You can air-dry by leaving it out on the kitchen counter or wipe it well with a kitchen towel.
Storing Ginger Root
If I am going to use the ginger within a week, I leave it out and store in a cool dry place.
Make sure the root is completely dry before keeping it in the fridge. If it is even a little bit wet, it will make the ginger go bad quickly. Blot it dry with a kitchen towel.
Refrigerator: If you are storing the whole root, use a resealable plastic bag and store it in the refrigerator's crisper drawer. Don't peel the skin if you are storing it in the refrigerator. But be sure to check for mold before using the ginger.
Freezer: To store ginger even longer, store it in the freezer. Keep it in a ziplock bag or freezer-safe container. If it is organic ginger, you can store it with the peel. Break into small pieces before freezing. You can freeze for up to 5 months.
Whenever you need ginger, just take it out of the freezer and grate it to use. Then, keep the ziploc bag back in the freezer for future use.
Don't worry about thawing the ginger as it is easy to peel and grate when frozen.
Storing Ginger Paste
Making a paste is a great way to store ginger to add while cooking. Usually, I don't peel the skin if I am using organic ginger, but feel free to remove the skin if you prefer. Remove any jagged or bruised portions of the ginger and cut into small pieces for easier blending.
Blend the small chopped pieces of ginger to a paste using a blender or food processor. You can grind it as coarse or fine paste as you like. As ginger also has water content, you don't need to add water while grinding. But, if it is needed just add very less maybe a spoonful to blend the ginger. While blending, the ginger will rise up, so keep pushing it down to make blending easy.
To make ginger paste in a blender, you might need to use a larger quantity. Blending in small quantities might end up needing more water or you might end up getting a very coarse blend.
Do we need to add oil and salt to preserve ginger paste?
If you plan to freeze the ginger paste, you don't need to add oil or salt.
This way the frozen ginger can also be used for making tea or in baking.
However if you want to store the ginger paste in the refrigerator and only plan to use it in curries, then it is totally fine to add oil and salt to it.
Once the ginger paste is ready, you can store it in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
To keep it even longer, store the paste in the freezer. I use ice-cube trays with a lid to store the ginger in the freezer. The tray holds about a tablespoon of ginger in each cube. You can also just fill the cube half to have ½ tablespoon, which can be perfect to use in most recipes.
You can also use Ziploc bags to store the paste if you don't have ice-cube trays. Add the ginger paste and flatten the bag as shown below. This way you can break easily the amount you need for cooking.
You can freeze ginger paste this way for up to 5 month.
Or if you want, line a sheet pan with parchment paper and add a dollop of ginger paste in a row and freeze them.
Then store those mounds in a ziploc bag and remove as much as air as possible before sealing and storing the bag in the freezer.
You can see above how easy it is to use the frozen ginger from the ziploc bag bu breaking it in to small pieces.
You can save space by removing the ginger cubes from the ice cube trays and storing them in a resealable plastic bag.
I hope you have found this post helpful to learn the various ways you can store ginger. When I get a large bag of ginger, I keep some in the refrigerator, and make a paste with the rest and freeze for later.

Our go-to methods for storing fresh ginger
Plus, how to choose a root in tip-top shape
(Rocky Luten / Food52)
This story first appeared on Food52, an online community that gives you everything you need for a happier kitchen and home – that means tested recipes, a shop full of beautiful products, a cooking hotline, and everything in between!
From tummy troubles to baked goods, fresh ginger has many uses in the kitchen.
It's packed with flavor, and a little bit goes a long way. If you've ever bought fresh ginger root, you know that you can spend 50 cents on a 2-inch piece of ginger that will last for weeks — but how do you store ginger to make sure that it stays as fresh as possible?
How to store fresh ginger
Before you pick up any piece of ginger from the grocery store, choose one carefully. Look for a piece of ginger that is quite firm to the touch and has smooth skin; any soft spots or slightly wrinkly skin is a sign that it's already past its peak.
There are a few ways to go about storing pieces of ginger, and fortunately, they're all pretty easy! You can store unpeeled ginger at room temperature or in the refrigerator in an airtight zip-top bag or container and tuck it in the crisper drawer; if stored properly, fresh ginger can last for weeks. If you have already peeled the ginger, it must be stored in the fridge to prevent oxidation. Blot the peeled side of the ginger on a paper towel to remove any excess moisture before sticking it in the fridge.
For even longer-lasting fresh ginger, pop it in the freezer! The same method applies for storing ginger root in the freezer; just make sure to use a freezer-safe bag. But bonus: Like cheese, frozen ginger is actually easier to grate for recipes. Win-win!
How to pickle ginger
Another way to make use of fresh ginger is to pickle it! Molly Yeh shared her recipe with us, and it's about as easy as pickling gets. All you need is a large knob of ginger, sugar, water, rice vinegar, and salt. Peel the skin of the ginger root with the back of a spoon or a Y-shaped vegetable peeler (my personal favorite kitchen tool!) and thinly slice it on a mandoline. Place in a sterilized jar. Now all you have to do is cook the pickling liquid! Combine all of the ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil; as soon as it boils, pour the mixture into the jar over the sliced ginger. Let it cool slightly before covering, then refrigerate. Serve it as soon as 24 hours later or keep it in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Recipe: Pickled Ginger
Makes
3/4 cups
Ingredients
- 1 large knob of ginger (about 6 inches long)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
- Rinse the ginger and then use a spoon to gently scrape off the skin. Slice it very thinly, ideally with a mandolin or vegetable peeler to get the slices extra thin, but a sharp knife will work, too. You should have around 1 cup of sliced ginger. Place it in a sterilized jar.
- In a small saucepan, stir together the sugar, water, rice vinegar, and salt, so that the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil over medium high heat and then pour the mixture over the ginger. Let cool slightly and then cover and refrigerate overnight before serving. It will keep in the fridge for up to two weeks.
