CHOOSE
Look for thin, shiny skin; avoid spots. Smell it, too – you need the smell to be spicy, pungent.
STORE
If you cook with ginger several times a week, store it in the crisper, wrapped in a resealable bag. If you only need a small amount every once in a while, freeze it and grate without prior thawing whenever you ginger.
