The Secret to Long-Lasting Ginger\n

Start by buying fresh ginger, but don\u2019t wash it right away! Instead, let it sun-dry for two days. This will remove any dirt on the surface while drying out the skin, helping preserve the ginger longer.\n

Pro tip: Compare the ginger you\u2019ve dried with fresh, untreated ginger. You’ll notice a huge difference\u2014the untreated ginger will start deteriorating quickly, while the dried ginger stays strong and firm.\n

Step-by-Step Guide to Storing Ginger for a Year\n
\n
Drying: After sun-drying the ginger for two days, you’re ready to move to the next step.\n
Box Setup: Find a cardboard box with ventilation holes. Line the bottom with tissue paper to absorb moisture.\n
Baking Soda Magic: Sprinkle a little baking soda on the tissue paper. This helps keep the ginger dry and prevents any mold or rot from forming.\n
Layering: Place a layer of ginger in the box, then add another layer of tissue paper, followed by more ginger. Sprinkle a bit more baking soda, and repeat the process until the box is full.\n
Close and Store: Close the box and store it in a cool, well-ventilated place (but not in direct sunlight). The airflow and baking soda will keep the ginger fresh and sprout-free.\n\n
The Result?\n
As long as your ginger remains dry, it won\u2019t shrink, rot, or sprout. The ginger will stay fresh for up to half a year\u2014and sometimes even longer! By following these steps, you can enjoy fresh ginger whenever you need it, without worrying about it spoiling.\n
This method works wonders to preserve your ginger and keep it sprout-free all year long. Now that\u2019s a kitchen hack worth trying! \ud83c\udf3f\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
