Questions and Answers
Q: Should I freeze ginger before grating it?
A: You can. Frozen ginger grates into a fine, fluffy snow and the fibres break down more easily, so it's a handy way to keep fresh ginger ready to use.
Q: Why grate ginger rather than chop it?
A: Grating breaks the ginger into a fine paste that releases its juice and melts into sauces, marinades and dressings. Slices are better when you want to infuse a broth or tea and lift them out later.
