Fresh Ginger Heats Up the Winter Kitchen

Whether you’re braving a “chilly” Southern California “winter” or spending the cold months in Michigan, you can always heat up your kitchen with the spicy bite of fresh ginger. With a pleasant, peppery heat, freshly grated ginger delivers a fragrant and slightly sweet punch to both savory and sweet dishes alike. When shopping, look for a firm piece of fresh ginger root with unwrinkled skin. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or the freezer for up to 6 months. When it’s time to cook, just peel, and then mince, grate, or juice your fresh ginger into one of Mary Sue and Susan’s gingery dishes.
