How long your fresh ginger lasts depends on how fresh it was when you bought it. Soft, wrinkle-free ginger with translucent pink or yellow skin is ideal. Buy only as much as you expect to consume within a week.
Use a paper towel to rub moisture off of the ginger's surface.
Place the ginger in a brown paper bag. Seal the bag tightly. Brown paper bags keep moisture and light away from its contents.
Make room in your refrigerator's vegetable crisper for the ginger. Put your ginger in the back of crisper where it will remain undisturbed. The backs of vegetable crispers are usually colder and less susceptible to light.
Keep the ginger in the vegetable crisper for up to 2 weeks.
