Garlic, which can be said to be the most used condiment in our life, tastes good whether it is fried, cold or pickled food. So can garlic be eaten after germination? How to deal with it?
Can garlic be eaten after germination?
Garlic is edible after sprouting. Garlic can be eaten as long as it is not discolored and moldy after germination. However, in the process of germination, garlic will consume nutrients in the stem, leading to bulb atrophy, shriveled, greatly reduced edible value, and even rot.
Although garlic shoots can be eaten, its nutritional consumption and edible value will be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is best to store garlic in a place with low temperature and good ventilation. The best way is to store garlic in the refrigerator.
Garlic is moldy. Can you eat it if you cut it off?
If only the garlic skin has mildew, but garlic petals and fibrous roots have mildew, it can be eaten. If the garlic cloves inside have just begun to mold, it is not recommended to eat again.
Garlic has strong inhibition and elimination effect on mold, and it is generally not easy to grow mold. But the storage is not good, such as _ too high, moisture regain and other reasons.
Garlic placed for a long time is very easy to grow germs. They can grow and develop molds under that standard, and they are generally very resistant to drugs. Eating it may cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, food poisoning and so on.
How to preserve garlic germination
1, stored in a cool and ventilated place.
In fact, the preservation method of garlic is very simple. Generally, garlic is neither afraid of cold nor heat. So the fresh garlic you buy just needs to be stored in a ventilated, cool and dry place.
Garlic can generally be stored for about one month to two months at room temperature. But often after a month, garlic will germinate.
2, refrigerator preservation
We can put the garlic heads in the refrigerator, which is more suitable for summer. However, we should pay attention to getting wet. If garlic gets wet, it will be moldy.
Therefore, in order to avoid mildew caused by damp, it is best to put garlic in the cold room of the refrigerator for preservation, which can generally last for about two months.
3, microwave killing activity
We can also use the microwave oven to kill the cell activity of garlic. Put garlic in the microwave oven, and take it out with medium fire for 20 seconds. This kind of garlic is not only easy to peel, but also won't germinate again, which is especially easy to use.
4. Dry storage method
Garlic germination requires a certain humidity, and garlic will not germinate in a particularly dry environment. We can find an empty plastic bottle with some dry toilet paper at the bottom to absorb moisture.
Then put the garlic in, cover the bottle tightly and take it out when you use it. Garlic preserved in this way can also be guaranteed not to germinate for a long time.
