Mold prevention: Store spray in fridge for up to 2 weeks. Discard if it smells odd or changes color.
Reuse & Sustainability

Reuse the ginger bits: Toss them in your trash can as a deodorizer — refresh with baking soda and water.

Store fresh ginger: Wrap in dry paper towel, seal in an airtight bag, and refrigerate in crisper.
Or slice and freeze for longer storage.
