GINGER (SAMPLE)

Selection

• Ginger is firm and plump with a sheen on the skin that has no wrinkling.
• Ginger has a spicy and pungent aroma.
• No sprouts and the flesh is bright yellow.
• Choose ginger with fewer knots.

Storage

• Ginger should be stored at 54°F - 57°F (12°C -14°C) with a relative humidity of eighty-five to ninety percent. Young ginger should have mist while mature ginger does not need mist.
• The typical shelf life is two to three months. High humidity is important to avoid dehydration and a wilted appearance. The high temperature should be avoided in order to prevent mold and sprouting.
• Ginger is not sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Ginger produces a very low level of ethylene.
• Mature ginger is sensitive to chilling injury if held below 54°F (12°C). Symptoms include loss of skin color, softening, shriveling, and pitting of the skin.
