How to peel ginger root

Have a recipe that calls for fresh ginger root? Before chopping, slicing or grating, the first step is to peel the thin skin. A paring knife or a vegetable peeler will do the job, but removes too much of the meaty flesh. To minimize waste, working on a cutting board, hold the root firmly with one hand and use the edge of a spoon to scrape the skin off. Freezing the ginger root in a re-sealable bag before peeling and allowing to thaw makes the job even easier.
