So, how do you use ginger root? You treat it like that friend who’s a little weird but always makes things better. Put it in tea, stir-fries, cookies, or even salad dressing. Don’t be afraid of the gnarly root—it’s just a funny-looking knob of flavor.
Store it in the freezer, and you can grate it without peeling—the skin grates just fine. Now go rescue that sad ginger from your fridge. You both deserve a second chance.
