Do not eat an entire raw ginger root like an apple. That is a cry for help. Ginger is a potent, spicy root that will punch you in the mouth if you disrespect it.
Start small. A thumb-sized knob per day is plenty. Too much can cause heartburn, or worse—frequent burps that smell like a botanical garden.
And for the love of all that is holy, freeze the rest of your ginger if you don’t use it fast. It grates beautifully from frozen, like a spicy ice cube from hell’s kitchen.
So go ahead. Grab that weird, knobby misfit from your crisper drawer. Boil it, blend it, ferment it, or shoot it like a tequila of health. You are now a ginger drinker. Welcome to the tribe. Your sinuses will never be the same, and neither will your sense of adventure.
