Peeling ginger should never be an impediment to using it. Fresh ginger is a wonderful way to add lots of flavor to food. Ground ginger has a place, but when a recipe calls for fresh, use it! The problem with peeling ginger is that you are not working with a smooth, even surface. All the bends and nubs on a hand of ginger make using a vegetable peeler as you would on a carrot or cucumber difficult. Often you will end up having to waste pieces of ginger just to peel it. However, there is a solution… A SPOON! Yes, you can peel ginger with spoon. Don’t believe it? Check out our quick video and see for yourself.
