The most scientific and effective method to prevent garlic from sprouting is cryogenic preservation.
Everyone knows that garlic sprouts easily in spring because the temperature is relatively high in spring and everything grows, including garlic! We only need to change the storage temperature of garlic. Through low-temperature storage, garlic germination can be effectively inhibited.
The refrigerator at home can be used. We can put the garlic into a plastic bag, tie the bag tightly, and store it. If the refrigerator at home is relatively small, we can remove the skin of the garlic and put it in a glass bottle. This saves a lot of space!
Other methods include:
1. Preservation by drying
After you buy garlic, do not store it directly. We must store the garlic we bought. Drying in a sunny place will allow the excess water on the skin of the garlic to evaporate and keep the skin dry, which can effectively prevent the garlic from sprouting and extend the storage time.
2. Desiccant preservation method
During the storage process, if garlic is stored in an improper location, it will easily get damp. Germination is a trivial matter, and it will be wasted if it becomes moldy and deteriorates. Therefore, when preserving garlic, we can use desiccant to extend the storage time.
There is no need to purchase additional desiccants. The desiccants in food at home, tea leaves, and fried salt can all be used as desiccants. It is simple and trouble-free, and the most important thing is to save money!
3. Preservation by local methods
When I was in my hometown in the countryside, every household had the habit of growing garlic, so there was basically no need to buy garlic at home, and I couldn’t eat all the garlic I grew. , is also very good at dealing with germination!
The native method of preserving garlic in rural areas is very simple. After harvesting the garlic, braid the garlic together like braiding, then dry the moisture on the surface and hang it in a cool and ventilated place. No problem for a year, you can eat as you go, very convenient!
