I also have fresh chopped ginger in my freezer , I buuy this frozen from the suermarket , its useful to keep in the freezer.

In order to keep a plentiful supply of ginger, I buy quite a lot of fresh (old or new), peel and coarsely chop it then liquidise it with a little water. Then freeze it in small containers (about 3-4 teaspoons worth in each).
