Ginger and garlic are two ingredients used year-round in the kitchen, these organic ingredients are widely used in cooking all over the world because of their unique flavor.
Apart from having excellent flavor enhancement ability, ginger and garlic also have many health benefits as both these ingredients are fresh in winter and spoil easily in summer.
The following tips are very useful to keep ginger and garlic fresh in summer.
1- Protect from sunlight
Most people keep garlic in a basket on their kitchen counter, which is a convenient way to store it.
But in summer, take special care not to place them near a window that is exposed to direct sunlight, as garlic dries out quickly and may rot when exposed to sunlight.
2- Keep in a ventilated place
The best way to store garlic is to keep it in a well-ventilated place at a suitable temperature as garlic will spoil quickly in a wet and humid place.
Therefore, it is important to keep them in a basket that allows for proper air circulation.
3- Using an airtight container
If you think the room temperature is rising and the garlic might go bad, peel the garlic and put it in an airtight container in the fridge.
1- Keep in the refrigerator
Ginger spoils at room temperature and if kept in sunlight, it dries up within a few days, so it should always be refrigerated to keep it fresh for longer.
2- Place in a zip lock bag
Ginger gets moldy in summer, so don’t store it in the kitchen, but if you want to keep it fresh for at least 1 month, keep it sliced in a ziplock bag. In this way, ginger can be kept fresh for a long time in summer.
3- Using an airtight container
Sometimes too much ginger is cut for use and not used whole during cooking, now that the peel has come off it is likely to spoil easily.
But there is no need to worry as unpeeled or sliced ginger can easily be stored in an airtight box in the refrigerator for one to two weeks.
