Fresh Ginger and Turmeric

If you have plenty of fresh ginger and turmeric and don't want it to go off, just place in a freezer bag and keep in freezer. When you want to use, just grate as necessary.

I have lots of home grown turmeric and was fed up with throwing it out. I also buy very expensive organic ginger from the organic markets and a friend made this suggestion.

Ginger and turmeric are two powerful spices that have been used widely throughout history for both culinary and medical purposes. I use them as widely as possible in food preparation and also in my fermented foods. When I make my own Natto, I include grated ginger and it also goes in my Honeygar. Turmeric and ginger are favourites in stir fries as well.
