Harvesting And Processing Ginger

Question

Hi, I am growing ginger in containers, and they are growing nicely. My question is, when it’s time to harvest the Ginger should I let it dry first before processing such as freezing, making it into powder etc.? If so, please send me instructions on drying and processing. As always, thank you!
