Been freezing ginger for many years. It grates nice and fine when frozen, making it great for cooking.

I was going through the slide show, and the next slide was "Flammable Hazmat Storage Units". I went "whoa" until I realized that it was a advert. 555

Ginger does not approve!

My wife makes a wonderful sauce from grated frozen ginger. Very simple and delicious. Ginger and green onions sauteed in peanut oil. Great with chicken.

Back to the subject....
A lot of this depends on how much freezer space you have. There are some foods that you can ferment, dehydrate or can, rather than freeze, especially if you don't have a lot of freezer space.

And...Ginger is a fairly powerful spice and can hide some problems. Deer that is a mite gamey (maybe it was shot ahead of dogs), benefits a lot from a soak in a ginger based marinade or a recipe that has a decent amount of ginger in it.

Frozen grapes sound like a great summertime treat for a certain toddler…
As for berries, I find it cheaper to buy a bag of frozen berries than buying fresh berries and freezing.

Fatty fish like herring, mackerel, and sardines require glazing or vacuum sealing, but salmon and trout are fine in the freezer for up to three months
Err... I think salmon has more fat than herring or sardines.

Just be careful...My MIL had a sister choke to death on a peanut when the sister was not quite three...

We chop up lots of green onion and freeze it - then take out a smidge at a time when we need it.
Also, this time of year we cut off the bottom inch or so and plant in the back yard. Green onions are very hardy and grow quickly. We usually don't buy any green onions all summer long.

Mrs. George is a huge green onion fan.
(I mean, she really likes green onions, not that she's huge...)
Tell me more. Just chop 'em up and throw 'em in a baggie??

Red ones come out better. The boy and his pals loved them. Seedless of course.

One they didn’t mention was lemon zest.
I’ll fill each square of an ice cube tray with a teaspoon of zest and just enough lemon juice to cover it.
Once frozen you can liberate the little lemon cubes from the tray and store them in a bag.
Very easy to grab one or two to throw into a pan.

See, I do it a bit differently.
We tend to pull, chop and freeze, too. But to keep green onions going, I let them flower, then I wait for the flowers to dry a bit and the stalks to droop. When that happens, I pull them, tie them together and hang them in a dark, dry place. I'll replant the bulbs in August.

Yep.
They just won't be crisp when thawed, but they're fine to cook with.
