🥄 How to Harvest Ginger
✅ For Partial Harvests:
Gently dig around the edge of the pot.
Break off a section of the root and cover the rest—so it keeps growing.
✅ For Full Harvest:
Remove the plant from the pot.
Shake off soil, rinse the roots, and set aside pieces for replanting.
🧊 How to Store Freshly Harvested Ginger
Short-Term: Wrap in a paper towel and store in the fridge (up to 2 weeks).
Long-Term: Peel, slice, and freeze; or dry and grind into powder.
Preservation Option: Store in vinegar or blend into ginger paste for easy cooking use.
💡 Extra Tips for Success
Ginger prefers warm, humid conditions. If you’re in a cooler climate, bring the pot indoors during winter.
Rotate the pot every few weeks for even growth.
Mulch the surface with straw or leaves to help retain moisture.
Be patient—ginger is a slow but steady grower, and the results are worth the wait!
