1. It is best to use purple-skinned garlic for pickling Laba garlic. The garlic cloves of purple-skinned garlic are small, solid and crispy when soaked. The vinegar for pickling the garlic is best to use rice vinegar, which is light in color and difficult to soak. The color of the garlic remains the same as before, and the sourness and spiciness are moderate.

2. If you like a sweeter taste, you can add a little sugar when soaking Laba garlic.

3. If you want Laba garlic to turn green quickly:

① You can increase the temperature difference, put it on a sunny balcony during the day, and put it on the heater or in the refrigerator at night;

② Removing the garlic head can fully contact the vinegar and garlic and speed up the greening.

4. Choose a transparent glass container to facilitate observation of the color of Laba garlic and its reaction after soaking; and the container must be dry and free of moisture to prevent deterioration.

5. The bottles or jars containing Laba garlic should be sealed and stored; when taking out the garlic, use dry and clean chopsticks, and seal it in time after taking it out.
