how long does fresh ginger last in fridge
2 Answers 2. Eat By Date claims a shelf life of about one month, in the refrigerator, which matches my experience. Ginger root is a living rhizome, and is the plant's way of storing energy to grow later. As long as it is firm, not slimy, with no signs of a mold, with a good aroma, you should be able to use it. share | improve this answer
