Are there other ways to store ginger? An introduction to ginger storage tips
Besides putting ginger in a well, are there other storage methods? Ginger storage techniques: 1) Storage characteristics. Ginger prefers warmth and moisture, is not tolerant of low temperatures, and is prone to cold damage below 10%. Cold-damaged ginger rhizomes rot easily when the temperature rises again; storage temperatures that are too high also cause rot. The suitable temperature is about 15°C, and the relative humidity is 65%. For storage, ginger should be harvested with fully grown rhizomes and must not be exposed to frost in the field. Generally it is put into the cellar for storage immediately after harvest and must not be left in the field overnight. It is best not to harvest on sunny days to avoid excessive sun exposure; ginger harvested in rainy weather or after rain does not store well.
