To know if the ginger is fresh, make sure it has a fresh and spicy fragrance and that its skin is smooth and firm.
Avoid wrinkled or soft texture, as this would mean it is older.
Refrigeration: If you have bought a large amount of ginger that you won't use in a short time, you should refrigerate it, where it can be stored for two months.
It is important not to wash the tubers before putting them in the refrigerator, but only when you are going to use them.
This is because moisture can promote the proliferation of bacteria that will cause it to rot more quickly.
Since only a small amount is usually used, what you should do is grate or slice the part you are going to use into thin pieces, and store the rest again in the refrigerator wrapped in plastic wrap or in a bag making sure to remove all the air from inside.
It will last longer if you keep it with its skin and it will also preserve its flavor better.
Fresh ginger can also be stored for up to a year in the freezer.
In that case, the most practical thing to do is slice it into slices already peeled and freeze it in a ziplock bag making sure to remove the air from the inside.
We can also freeze smaller pieces with their skin.
This way, if we are going to use ginger in one of our recipes, we just have to thaw what we need and it will last longer.
In high doses, it can cause gastritis and is not recommended in cases of gastroduodenal ulcer.
Pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers are advised to take it in low doses and for short periods of time.
It is also not suitable for children under 6 years old.
