I consider fresh ginger to be a super food. I like to use it in my cooking, baking and my tea remedies so I need always to have fresh ginger on hand. My first encounter with the ginger was not that fruitful. I actually used a knife to peel it and I ended up having just half of it to be used! Few years back I discovered the real technique on a French channel, it is incredibly… easy: – Break one lobe of the ginger to easily reach all the skin and hold it firmly with one hand. – Hold the bowl of the spoon in the other hand, make sure the convex is towards you. – Scrap away the skin by using the edge of the spoon. Now that you have fresh ginger you can grate them, put them in a ziplock bag and store them in the freezer. It will be super handy when a recipe requires freshly grated ginger! Hope it helps!
