As the old saying goes, "Learn to be old, live to be old!"

Life is full of learning, recently I went to the supermarket to buy a little garlic back, but the garlic was bought back, and it began to sprout in less than 3 days, which made me puzzled.

Why does garlic not sprout when you put it in the supermarket, but it sprouts a few days after you buy it?

Why does garlic not sprout in the supermarket, every time I go to the supermarket to buy garlic, the garlic is as good as ever, and it sprouts within a few days when I buy it? What's going on behind this?

To this end, I asked Lao Zhou, a clerk who works in a supermarket, and Lao Zhou said: "There are mainly the following four reasons, which cause garlic to sprout when you buy it home." ”

1. The storage environment is different

Why does garlic not sprout when you put it in the supermarket, but it sprouts a few days after you buy it?

Lao Zhou said that the first reason is that the storage environment of the two is different, garlic in the supermarket is often stored in a low temperature environment, and the humidity is more suitable, which can well inhibit the growth of garlic germ and prolong the shelf life of garlic.

After we bought garlic home, the preservation environment at home is completely different from that of the supermarket, many people directly throw garlic on the ground, or put it on the board, with the increase of temperature and humidity at home, the environment in which the garlic is located has changed, resulting in her easy to start growing germs quickly.

Some people also like to mix garlic with other vegetables, and vegetables such as green peppers and cabbage will release catalyst substances to garlic, so that garlic is easier to sprout.

2. Supermarkets are in high demand

Why does garlic not sprout when you put it in the supermarket, but it sprouts a few days after you buy it?

Because of the high demand for garlic in the supermarket, there are many people who buy it, and the supermarket clerk puts the garlic from the warehouse to the shelf, and it is generally sold within 2 days.

The demand is large, and the garlic stays on the supermarket shelves for a short time, so it is difficult for people to see the sprouted garlic in the supermarket, and these garlic originally stayed in the supermarket warehouse for a long time, and then everyone bought it home, and it was not eaten for two or three days.

With the extension of time, the storage environment of the two is different, and if you don't eat it as soon as possible, the garlic you bought at home will gradually grow germs.

3. Dedicated personnel to inspect and clean up

In order to make customers more assured of the quality of the goods, supermarkets often arrange special personnel to regularly inspect and clean the garlic, pick out some sprouted garlic and rotten garlic, and leave only the good quality on the shelves.

And after we buy garlic home, we often just throw it there, and then take it when we want, and we will not check the garlic, and sometimes even the garlic at home is put in a bag, and it grows sprouts in half a month, only to find out that the family bought garlic last time.

4. Supermarket garlic is sterilized

Why does garlic not sprout when you put it in the supermarket, but it sprouts a few days after you buy it?

In order to reduce the consumption of garlic, supermarkets often sterilize garlic, such as common ultraviolet sterilization and so on.

The supermarket will turn on the germicidal lamp every day after work to let the garlic spend the whole night in this special environment, which can extend the shelf life of the garlic and thus inhibit the growth of the germ.

However, we do not have such conditions at home, and when we buy garlic home, we directly expose it to the daily air, which leads to an increase in garlic humidity and temperature, so that the germ grows rapidly.

So how should garlic be preserved?

Why does garlic not sprout when you put it in the supermarket, but it sprouts a few days after you buy it?

Lao Zhou said that there are two ways to prolong the germination time of garlic.

The first method is to buy the garlic home and put it in a sealed plastic bottle, so that the garlic can be isolated from the air and humidity, so as to increase its storage time.

The second method is to seal the garlic in a plastic bag, and then store it in the refrigerator, which can inhibit the growth of garlic germ through the low temperature environment of the refrigerator.

Have you learned the above two methods?
