1, different flavor
In addition to seeing the color difference intuitively, the taste of the two is actually different. White skin juice is relatively rich, not so spicy, crisp, and can be eaten directly, suitable for soaking sugar and garlic. Although there are fewer garlic cloves in purple skin, it is fatter and the juice is not as much as that in white skin, but it is also more spicy, which is very suitable for seasoning and the garlic flavor is more intense.
2. Different nutrition
Purple garlic and white garlic generally contain similar nutrients, but the anthocyanin content in purple garlic is relatively high due to varieties. White garlic will be richer in selenium, and you can choose according to your own needs.
3. Different storage methods
Generally speaking, white garlic has thin skin and high cold resistance, but it also contains more water, so if we choose white garlic, we can buy it and seal it in plastic bags or fresh-keeping bags, and put it in the refrigerator for low temperature sealing. However, purple garlic is generally placed in a dry and ventilated place, and hung and preserved after drying in the shade, but it should be noted that it cannot be directly exposed to the sun.
Selection technology of garlic
1, look at the color
Purple garlic and white garlic are also rich in nutrition, but purple garlic has higher nutritional value, heavier spicy taste and slightly higher price.
Step 2 look at the appearance
When choosing garlic, try to choose garlic with round shape and good wrapping, and don't choose garlic with gaps or deformities. There are obvious radians between garlic cloves, which are evenly distributed and closely connected with each other. Garlic cloves are big and full, and garlic tastes better.
Step 3 look at the top of garlic
Pay attention to the top of garlic when choosing. Generally, garlic will sprout from it. If germination is found, it is recommended not to buy it. Germination will affect the nutritional composition of garlic. Put garlic in your hand and gently touch it. Garlic cloves are solid, dry and thick, and have a strong sense of hardness when pinched. They are good garlic.
If you feel soft and sunken, the inside of the garlic may have begun to deteriorate. Don't buy it.
