Brilio.net - Ginger is known as a versatile kitchen spice that can be used in various types of dishes and drinks. Its distinctive warm aroma and unique spicy taste make ginger the main choice to add flavor to dishes such as soups, stir-fries, and even meat marinades.
Not only that, ginger is also often processed into healthy warm drinks. For example, ginger tea or ginger tea, which is believed to provide warmth and increase endurance.
However, the challenge in using ginger lies in the peeling process. Its uneven shape and full of protrusions make it difficult to peel with a regular knife. If not careful, much of the ginger flesh will be thrown away, reducing the usable results. In addition, the thin but fibrous skin texture makes it even more difficult to peel without damaging the inside.

To overcome this difficulty, many people turn to more practical methods, such as Instagram user @melizah21. Instead of using a knife, she chose to use another kitchen tool .
Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @melizah21 on 1), the kitchen utensil in question is a spoon. Yup! She uses the blunt concave of the spoon to peel the ginger skin more effectively.

The method is, simply take one piece of ginger. Then scrape the skin using a spoon until it is scraped off. While scraping, press the spoon so that the skin on the ginger is easier to peel off. But don't press too hard so that no flesh is wasted, okay. Now, do this process evenly over the entire ginger skin until clean.

In the video, Instagram user @melizah21 shows the results of ginger that has been peeled with a spoon. Who would have thought, the surface of the ginger is completely clean and there is no skin left. If it is like this, of course the ginger is easier to use for cooking or drinking.
Peeling ginger with a spoon is considered more effective than using a knife for several main reasons related to the texture and shape of the ginger itself. The skin of ginger is actually very thin, and using a knife tends to remove some of the flesh as well. With a spoon, the skin can be gently scraped off without removing too much of the valuable inside, making it more economical and efficient.
On the other hand, ginger has an irregular shape with many curves and protrusions. The flexible tip of the spoon makes it easier to reach narrow parts that are difficult to access with a knife, making the peeling process more even and thorough.
