No. Old ginger loses its flavor. I have said this here before. Like to
killed myself because I was used to using my mom's old stale ginger. I
would use three times the amount called for in a recipe. Then I bought new.
Used three times the amount of that and *gag*. Even the amount called for
was difficult for because I wasn't used to that much flavor.
