Ginger is a spicy, fibrous root rich in vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, copper and manganese. A staple in Asian cooking, ginger is also used to flavor cakes, breads, sauces and fruit dishes. As a natural remedy, ginger soothes nausea, morning sickness and general stomach upset. Purchase ginger root that has a smooth skin and a spicy fragrance.
Step 1
Wrap the ginger root in paper towels. The towels will keep the ginger free of moisture in the refrigerator.
Step 2
Place the wrapped ginger in a resealable plastic bag.
Step 3
Seal the bag and put it in the crisper compartment of the refrigerator. Fresh ginger will last in the fridge for three weeks.
