I like ginger and it has great benefits so I am so bummed when it rots in my fridge. In the past I tried to buy just what I needed but small pieces can be hard to peel and grate without injury. Large pieces just end up rotting in my fridge as I forget about them.
I read it somewhere on the web and now buy a good chunk of ginger, peel it, and toss the unused portion in my freezer. Then I just take it out and grate it frozen and although my fingers feel the bite of the cold, it grates like a dream! Easier than when raw. You can use it in your recipe immediately. Then I just toss the rest back in the freezer until I need it again. Hope this saves you a bit of money and frustration some day.
I also use up ginger by slicing it thin and simmering it in filtered water. Fish out the slices and pour it into a pitcher to stay cool in the fridge. It's a nice way to enjoy water and you get the anti-inflammatory benefits of ginger.
