Our amazing neighbors at Tree Gate Farm are selling the most beautiful fresh baby ginger.

Fresh baby ginger! It’s so much easier to use than the cured stuff that you get at the grocery store. No need to peel! Simply mince and add to the recipe. Baby ginger does need to be stored in the fridge and used within the week. Sharon does a great job at cleaning her baby ginger, so it barely needs any washing up.

I like to keep some ginger already prepped for me in the freezer, making it the easiest part of dinner. For baby ginger this Is really simple. You can either freeze it as-is, taking out the frozen pieces in the winter to grate into stir fries, tea, and marinades

OR you can take one additional step to have pre-minced ginger. Take your ginger and put it in a food processor until its chopped to the size you desire. Then scoop the mixture into a gallon sized freezer ziploc bag. Don’t fill the bag, only add a few cups worth of the pulsed mixture and then squeeze the air out of the bag and zip tight. Lay it flat and spread the mixture evenly. It should be spreading to less than a half inch thick. Then make some “perforation lines” by running your finger down the length of the bag several times and then horizontally several times. You should have a checkerboard look. place flat In the freezer. Once frozen you can break the mixture Into the square pieces that are perfect servings for winter dishes!

My go-to ginger recipe is simply… Lemon, Honey & minced ginger, pour some boiling water over the top and you’ve got the best tea! Perfect for curing a sore throat.

Baby ginger is available in 1 pound bags for $18.00 - feel free to add more than one bag to the cart if you want to freeze enough for winter!
