Why are these condiments difficult to preserve? Because they are all fresh, they will either wither or germinate after being kept at home for a few days, and garlic is not easy to preserve, especially in winter, when the price of garlic rises, the previously cheap garlic cannot be preserved at home, so we have to continue to spend high prices to buy it.
It takes about a week for garlic to be bought home, and garlic will dry up and germinate, and these germinated garlic will be useless and not suitable for cooking. So do you know how to preserve garlic? Here are three tips for you. The preserved garlic does not germinate or shrink, which is very practical.
Method 1
1 method is to peel garlic in half first. This kind of garlic doesn't need to shell, just divide the whole garlic into small petals, then prepare a glass jar, put the garlic in it, then pour in a proper amount of salt, and then cover it and seal it, so that the garlic will be in an oxygen-free and dry sealed environment, so that our garlic can be preserved for a long time, neither sprouting nor shrinking.
The second method
The second method is to prepare a plastic bag, put garlic in it, then put a cigarette in it, then squeeze the air out of the plastic bag, and then tie the bag tightly and put it in a cool and ventilated place, so that our garlic will not be moldy and rotten, and there will be no symptoms of shrinkage and germination, because the smoke contains nicotine, which can prevent garlic from being moldy and rotten and make it dormant for a long time.
The third method
The third method is also very simple, that is, using tea to prevent garlic from sprouting. Because tea can absorb water and put it into garlic, it can absorb the surrounding water, so tea is equivalent to a desiccant. First, prepare a paper towel, pour the tea leaves on it, then wrap the tea leaves in the paper towel, and then put the tea leaves in a plastic bag full of garlic. After the plastic bag is tightly tied, store it in a cool and ventilated place, so you don't have to worry about garlic rot, mildew and germination.
Here are three tips for preserving garlic. Raw materials are very easy to get and find at home, but if you use it to preserve garlic, it can preserve garlic 1 year. Especially in winter, the price of garlic will go up all the way. While garlic is cheap, we can buy more. If properly preserved, we don't need to buy expensive garlic.
