Storing Suggestions

Many rhizomes may be stored for a week at room temperature (temperate, not tropics) in a dark place. For longer storage, wrap in paper towels and then place in a sealable plastic bag and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Place in an airtight bag and freeze for extended storage. (You may want to grate or slice the rhizome before freezing to make it easier to measure later, as many of the recipes in the book use grated galangal.)
