I would like to freeze fresh ginger to use in dishes later. Is this possible without spoiling the ginger?

Wow, some go to great lengths -- YES, it can be frozen. I wash the root (leave the skin on, it won't hurt you), let it dry and freeze whole. When I need some, I can cut off a piece OR grate as is and put the remainder back in the Ziploc and put back in freezer -- last for months!!! I have NEVER had any go bad and have never throw it away after only a couple of weeks - just make sure you 'burp' the Ziploc really good.

Can Fresh Ginger Be Frozen

Yes! most definitely. I purchased some fresh ginger at a farmers market months ago and I froze it in a sealed plastic bag. I just take out whatever I need and use it anytime. It is still very good.

Fresh, unpeeled root should be wrapped in paper towels, placed in a plastic bag and refrigerated up to three weeks. It can also be tightly wrapped and frozen up to two months. (To use frozen ginger, slice off a piece of unthawed root. Re-wrap unused portion tightly and return to the freezer.) Peeled gingerroot can be stored in Madeira or Sherry wine in a glass container in the refrigerator up to three months. However, storing peeled ginger in wine will impart a wine flavor to the end ginger dish, so you may wish to forego this pre-prepared method for use in dishes where a wine flavor is not desirable. Dried ginger should be kept in a cool, dark space in an airtight container. Pickled and preserved ginger should be kept in their original containers in the refrigerator. Store crystallized ginger in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to three months.
