Anyway, I sliced the ginger for drying, vs. grating it. Then I can simply grind it as needed, or use it for tea making. I will have it on hand more often and no more extra trips to the store.
I have read you can dehydrate the peels too (and grind them). Has anyone ever done this? I ended up giving my peelings to the goats.

I don't know about drying ginger peel, but...why not open your own nature store? Or form a co-op buying group in your area? If you are looking for stuff, I am sure other people are looking for stuff...and sometimes, if you get together, a group can form and really make cool things happen! Just an idea, you know, to percolate. :-)
I hear you on not being able to buy it anywhere!! Drives me nuts! This is such a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
We're part of a food co-op called Azure Standard. Maybe they deliver to your area too? I get my fresh organic ginger root and organic ginger powder through them. They deliver once a month. The fresh ginger root will keep for a long time in the freezer. I've never done anything with the peels. I've only ever "used" them by throwing them in the compost pile.
I love ginger in all it's forms! Great idea to dry it to save for later. Have you ever tried keeping the fresh in the freezer as Rachael Ray suggests?
I have not placed my ginger in the freezer (space issues until I buy a deep freezer).
Thanks Janice, for the tip on Azure Standard. I have never heard of them, so I will check into it.
I never know you could dry garlic. Will have to try this.
