A while ago visiting someone i saw them add frozen flakes of mixed
garlic and ginger out of the freezer to their cooking.
Very convenient.

when i grate ginger and chopped garlic it all just freezes in hard
clumps sticking together.

I'm unable to contact the person concerned, so any ideas of how to keep
the flakes separated in the frezer without clumping together. Thanks

easier to freeze the ginger whole and grate or slice finely frozen.I do
not bother freezing with garlic.

You might want to get yourself 3 pounds of minced garlic. I go through about a pound a month. Such a deal!

You probably don't want to know what those cloves looked like whole.
