Ginger is a more commonly used condiment in our lives, and putting a little ginger in the preparation of meat food can play a role in removing the smell and increasing the flavor, and can also make the meat exude a unique aroma. And ginger also has the effect of warming the stomach, for girls with poor physique or often cold hands and feet, you can drink more ginger water, or use ginger to soak your feet, and if you stick to it for a long time, your physique can be greatly improved.
Although the benefits of ginger are many, many people will have a headache because of the preservation of ginger. Obviously, it was good when I bought it, but after a few days at home, it was rotten and shriveled, sprouted and moldy, so I had to throw away the ginger and buy it again. It doesn't feel like anything once or twice, but in the long run, it will lead to a lot of waste. Is there any good way to extend the shelf life of ginger? The answer is yes, let's teach you a few tips for keeping ginger fresh.
1. Rice preservation method.
When it comes to preserving ginger, the easiest way is to use rice to preserve it, because rice is the most common food we eat in our lives, and almost every household has it, so we don't need to go outside to buy other ingredients. The specific method is also very simple, we need to wash the purchased ginger with water, wipe the surface water with a paper towel, and directly insert the ginger into the rice bag for preservation.
Because the rice has the effect of moisture-proof, after putting the ginger in the rice bag, the humid air outside cannot enter the ginger, so there is no need to worry about the problem of moldy and deterioration of the ginger. Since ginger has its own spicy taste, many small insects can't stand this taste, so you don't need to worry about insects when you put ginger in a rice bag. It's simply clever, and you can easily solve two major problems with one move.
2. Edible oil preservation method.
When storing ginger, it can be stored with cooking oil in addition to the rice preservation method. The method is also very simple, we only need to clean the fresh ginger we bought, cut it into slices and put it in an airtight fresh-keeping jar or fresh-keeping plastic bag, and then pour a large spoonful of cooking oil, stir it evenly and place it in the refrigerator fresh-keeping layer.
The main reason why edible oil is chosen is because edible oil can form a uniform protective film on the surface of ginger, which can avoid the problem of ginger oxidation and germination. As for the fresh-keeping cabinet and fresh-keeping bag, the main function is to isolate the air from entering and reduce the evaporation of water vapor inside the ginger.
3. Blister preservation method.
If you don't want to use either of the above methods, you might as well try the blister method for preservation, and you also need to clean and cut the ginger into slices before starting. Then put the ginger into a clean sealed jar, cut in a few millet peppers, and add an appropriate amount to cool and boil.
We directly seal the sealed jar and put it in the cold layer of the refrigerator, and this method of preserving the ginger can greatly extend the shelf life of the ginger, even if it is stored for several months without worrying about spoilage. As for why you put millet pepper, the reason is simpler, because the taste of millet pepper is relatively spicy, which can effectively remove bacteria and harmful substances in ginger, thereby alleviating the speed of ginger rotting and mold.
