Keeping ginger in the fridge? Miss by a mile!

Many people are accustomed to putting ginger in the refrigerator, thinking that low temperature can prolong the storage time. In fact, the low temperature environment of the refrigerator will accelerate the water loss of ginger, leading to dry disease. Moreover, the humidity in the refrigerator is high, and the ginger is easy to sprout due to moisture, and even mold and spoilage. The fridge is definitely not a good place to keep ginger!

The "soil method" of the old vegetable farmer is simple and practical

The method of preserving ginger is actually very simple, only two things need to be used: sand and cardboard boxes.

Specific steps:

1. Prepare materials: Find a clean carton and prepare some dry sand (sand for construction is fine, but it must be dried).

5. Sand spreading: Spread a layer of sand about 0 cm thick at the bottom of the carton.

3、埋薑：將生薑平鋪在沙子上，注意不要重疊。

4. Cover the sand: Cover the ginger with another layer of sand, and the thickness should be to completely cover the ginger.

5. Storage: Put the carton in a cool and ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight.

Principle revealed:

The sand has good air permeability and moisture absorption, which can keep the surrounding environment of ginger dry and prevent ginger from germinating when damp. At the same time, the sand also insulates the air, slows down the oxidation rate of ginger, and prevents dryness.
