Prepare ginger soup for your family in winter. It is best to buy fresh ginger, and don't freeze it before freezing. Ginger is taken from rhizome. Generally, we should choose fresh ginger with bright color, soft swelling and black skin without cracks. Don't choose ginger with wrinkles and dry hair. Washing ginger, removing water, sealing it with fresh-keeping bags or wrapping paper, refrigerating it in the refrigerator, or putting it in a vegetable basket at room temperature are all good ways to preserve ginger. If the surface is dry and the skin is slightly thick, it can be used after peeling. The epidermis of ginger has many nutrients. When cooking soup, you should cut it less or not to avoid the loss of nutrients.
