Hostess tip: How to peel ginger properly?
When peeling with a knife, you lose quite a lot of the ginger itself. Instead of using a knife, try peeling the skin of fresh ginger with a small metal spoon. If you move the edge of a spoon along the surface of the ginger under pressure, the peel is easily separated from the healthy pulp.
