Maria Keenan, author of several cookbooks, shared her recommendation on TikTok. "If you're anything like me, you'll buy ginger and it will go bad before you get a chance to use it," she said. Keenan highlighted a method that is simple and requires no special equipment, as reported by Mirror. "Take a spoon and peel off all the skin. This is the most efficient way because it creates the least waste," she noted. After that, she warned followers to be careful of the juice that might squirt into their eyes while cutting the ginger into smaller pieces. She then transferred the cut pieces into a zip-lock bag. "There's no big secret here. Now you can put it in the freezer, and it will last for six months. Now you can have nice, fresh ginger whenever you want," she said. To avoid confusion about the expiration date, Keenan suggested writing the freezing date on the bag. Proper ginger storage aligns with the broader trend of reducing food waste. By adopting simple techniques, consumers can extend the shelf life of groceries, reduce waste, and save money.
