It is well known that garlic has the function of disinfection and sterilization, but can germinated garlic be eaten? When garlic has not germinated, it has already indicated that it has temporarily stopped growing. At this time, it appears a "dormant" state, and it will begin to germinate when it meets a suitable growth environment, which will make it lose its nutrition and reduce its quality. But the germinated garlic preserved by ventilation is edible, but if the surface of garlic turns green, don't eat it, because it turns green.
In addition, germinated garlic also contains different metabolites, which indicates that it produces different substances. Under laboratory conditions, the extract of germinated garlic can also protect cells from certain types of damage. It is worth noting that garlic stored in a cool and ventilated place indoors can be eaten after germination, but garlic stored in a sunny place will turn green after germination, thus producing alkaloids, so it is best not to eat it.
2 How to keep garlic from sprouting 1? Garlic should be dried before being stored at low temperature. If it is not dried, garlic will rot due to high humidity. Garlic should generally be stored in ventilated, dry, smokeless vegetable pits or indoors at a temperature of 0.6-0℃ and a relative humidity of 65%-70%. This method can be preserved for 6-7 months.
2. Garlic stored at high temperature will germinate rapidly at 5-65438 08℃ after a low temperature dormancy period. The harvested garlic can be stored at 30-34℃ for more than one year. In addition, under the condition of relative humidity of 40%-50%, it can also inhibit the respiratory metabolism of garlic and delay germination. Low oxygen and high carbon dioxide can also inhibit the respiration and germination of garlic.
Garlic should be stored at high temperature, the temperature is about 65438 05℃, and the relative humidity is not more than 70%, which is beneficial to improve seed quality. If the temperature can be kept at-1-3℃ in winter and changed to 18-20℃ about 40 days before sowing, the same fresh-keeping effect can be obtained.
3. Pull up garlic plants one by one during storage and harvest, remove garlic that is too big, too small, rotten or mechanically damaged, and wet by rain, then cut off roots and a part of stems along the bulb chassis with a knife, leaving only the false stems of 10- 15 cm, and pay attention to flattening the stems. After sun drying or artificial sun drying, string garlic pseudostems with galvanized iron wire and hang them under the eaves in front of and behind the house, or tie a handful of garlic every 8- 10, and then hang them under the eaves in rows with iron wire or nylon rope for natural air drying. It can be hung in a temporary arbor, a shady room or a ventilated storage room in summer and autumn; It is best to move into a ventilated storage room in winter to avoid humidity and cold.
