Fresh ginger keeps longest in the freezer, while garlic keeps best in a cool, dark, well-ventilated spot rather than the fridge. Both are easy to waste if stored the wrong way, especially once cut.
Storage tips
FAQ
Can you freeze garlic?
Yes, though the texture softens. It works best already chopped or crushed into an ice cube tray for cooking.
Why does garlic sprout?
Warmth, moisture and light all encourage sprouting, which is why a cool, dry, dark spot keeps it going longest.
