Description
Our own baby ginger. Juicy and tender with rich ginger flavor. Use the leaves for tea or stock! Ginger freezes well. Just put it in a bag in the freezer and grate some as you need it.
Juicy and sassy, baby ginger is not as spicy hot as its dried out counterpart. And you can use it easily in all the ways you love.
Grate or thinly slice directly from the root and use like this:
– Minced with garlic into your favorite stir-fry veggies for a burst of flavor
– Steeped in hot water for an instant tummy soother
– Grated into homemade vinaigrette salad dressing (which is simply olive oil, your favorite vinegar and salt)
– Blended into smoothies or homemade mango lassis
– Added to your favorite pumpkin soup recipe for a cozy flavor change-up
To freeze:
What I do is trim the stems (which you can save and steep for tea). Then I freeze the rhizomes whole in a ziplock bag. When I want to use it I pull out a frozen knob, grate off from the frozen what I want to use, and put the rest back in the freezer. Alternatively you can grate it all at once and freeze out in portions, like ice cube tray filled just half way or so per block. Then pull out a small block to thaw and use. The block thawing takes more pre planning. Freezing the rhizomes and grating when I want has worked for me.
Priced per approx. 0.25 pound.
Bulk quantity is 2 lbs for $36.
