Opening never extends a date: if the packet date comes sooner, go by that. Estimates for quality, not a safety ruling. What the dates mean

Ginger keeps for about 3 weeks in the fridge, counted from when you buy it. That's SnapLarder's estimate for ginger in general. If the packet has a date, go by the packet: it's specific to that product.

How long does ginger last once cut?

3 days.

Can you freeze ginger?

Yes. Ginger keeps for about 8 months in the freezer. Freeze it before the date on the packet, defrost it in the fridge, and use it within 2 days of thawing.
