Kitchen Hack: Peeling Ginger
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
Ginger is one of my favorite spices, but ginger root can be challenging to work with. That is until you have this kitchen tip in your cooking toolbox! And I have some tips on how to store it.
I absolutely love ginger! I know it isn’t a spice you would think that
you would find in my kitchen. I mean, it’s not used in Mexican or
Italian cooking (two of my favorite cuisines). But, it is one of those
flavors that I love to tuck in unexpected places.
My favorite fruit salad has ginger added in for a nice zing.
My favorite pasta salad recipe has ginger in the dressing to give it
some added flavor that really pops! Needless to say, it’s a flavor that
works well in so many recipes: savory, sweet and everything in between.
It is going to make life so much easier!

Kitchen Hack: How to Peel Ginger
Instructions
- Simply hold the ginger firmly and press the side of the spoon against the ginger. Scrape the scoop all around the ginger. The skin will come off clean.
- Next, you can use a grater to make fine shreds of ginger; you can slice, julienne, or mince with a chef's knife.
- Ginger will keep for 3 weeks in the fridge, wrapped in plastic wrap.

I make fresh ginger tea every morning with line juice. This will help me so much! Thank you…
I peel and cut my ginger into 1 to 2 inch chunks, put into a canning jar, and then cover with vodka. I have kept ginger in my cupboard for well over a year with no spoilage. Learned this from someone who lives on a boat and has limited refrigeration.
On the plus side you have some mighty tasty vodka when your ginger is depleted!!!
