Is it important to peel fresh ginger?

The best way to peel fresh ginger is with a teaspoon. That is the easiest way to get into all the nobly bits.

I don't peel it if I'm making ginger tea. Just make sure to wash it first

I never peel ginger. Even when I grate it for tea.

I don't peel anything, a lot of good stuff is in the skins

Yeah to cook with ginger you should peel it.

Run redheads run!

I peel it the best I can with a spoon, then grate it on a micro plane. This isn't perfect, but if you stop every six to ten strokes, much of the covering remains on the top side of the plane. Brush it off and keep grating.

Skin the Ginger

Combination of peeler and spoon is effective

Leave skin on

Just use a sharp paring knife. It's not difficult.

Scrape the skin off with a spoon.
