About the only thing you don't need to wash is a banana - as long as you are eating the whole thing. With any other fruit or vegetable that you cut into - the knife blade can bring bacteria from the outside (which you aren't eating) to the inside (which you are eating). Peeling would do the same thing - so go for the rinse.

You peel the rind off ginger root, so there is no need to wash it.

Alex Stevens · Answer

You should peel it. The easiest way is using a teaspoon to scrape off the skin. Comes off very easily

Who uses ginger without peeling it? If you do, then I guess it's a good idea to wash it; but, unless you're going to dice it I suspect that you'll lose ~ 80% of its flavor
