1, microwave killing activity
When we buy garlic, we occasionally find that some garlic will never germinate. These are generally old garlic in cold storage, and the cells lose their activity and will not germinate. We can also use the microwave oven to kill the cell activity of garlic. Put garlic in the microwave oven and take it out on high heat for 30 seconds. This kind of garlic is not only easy to peel, but also won't germinate again, which is especially easy to use.
2. Dry storage method
Garlic needs a certain humidity to germinate. Garlic will not germinate in a particularly dry environment. We can find an empty plastic bottle with some dry newspapers at the bottom to absorb moisture. Then put the garlic in, cover the bottle tightly, and take it out when it is used, so that the preserved garlic can also be guaranteed not to germinate for a long time.

When garlic is damaged, it will immediately decompose irritating allicin and release the strong smell of sulfide, which is its natural self-defense and protection mechanism.
