this is off topic but vaguely remembery your asking how to store ginger? Cannot find the thread
My father came to visit me in 1969. When he found out how much ginger cost at the regular store( not Asian store), he flipped. He says perhaps he should start dealing with the superstores in sending ginger here to the US. Apparently , he found out that ginger is stored in dirt when they are shipped here from the Far East or carribean.
Hope. this helps . I buy big chunk when I visit Asian store, just left them in my fridge, not even in the crisper section as I want to be able to see it quickly when I need it. I tyoically try to find the ones that are not slightly translucent (? is that because they8 got frozen ?) and they last me a long time.
I was inn Va a few weeks ago. Was in one fo those Asian carry out restaurant. In front of their store is a rectangular bin. T&here must be around 3-4 dozen spring onions planted there. I do. not know whether they were purchased and planted there or they grew them from seeds?
Well, it was obvious that they go and snip the top part of the spring onions whenever they need it.
I am always running out of fresh spring onions as they are cheap at the Asian store, 3 bunches for a dollar often and when they re 6 bunches for a buck, I buy all 6 but they do not stay fresh. So, I. have some dried fried ones as back up. Wander if anyone ever try planting spring onions and snipping it off whatever they need the way that restaurant does it?
