In the hot summer, the new garlic is on the market, and the spicy and tender taste makes you can't help but want to stock up on dozens of catties? Don't worry, learn a few tricks from me first, and make sure that your garlic can jump from the summer sun to the winter fire, and still be in good spirits.
First stop: Ginger Escort Method
First up is our old friend ginger, who is not only a good partner for garlic in cooking, but also a right-hand man in the journey to preserve garlic. Just a few slices of ginger, put it into a mesh bag with garlic, seal it in a fresh-keeping bag, the low temperature of the refrigerator and the antibacterial power of ginger make the garlic sleep and not wake up, refuse to sprout, and keep it dry.
Second stop: Salt Guardians
Next, let's bring out another giant in the seasoning industry - table salt. Gently wrap the garlic in a thin layer of salt, as if wearing a small damp-proof cloak, and then put it in a plastic bag, seal it and refrigerate. The hygroscopic magic of table salt allows the dry state of garlic to continue, and half a year is easily passed, and it is still as tough as ever.
Third stop: Nicotine Romance
This trick may be somewhat unexpected, but the effect is extraordinary. Ask your dear him for two cigarettes (of course, non-smokers please skip this step), put the tobacco and garlic in the same bag, the special effect of nicotine can effectively inhibit the growth desire of garlic, and the moisture absorption characteristics of tobacco are moisture-proof little experts. This trick can keep garlic for a year without worry.
Fourth stop: Years in the Can
If you prefer the traditional way, find an airtight jar or ceramic jar, arrange the garlic quietly, screw the lid tightly, place it in a ventilated and cool corner of your home, and wait for time to pass, and the garlic will be as calm as ever.
Stop 5: The Melody of the Natural Wind
Finally, let's get back to nature and emulate the traditional wisdom of the rural north. String the garlic in a mesh bag or twine and hang it in a well-ventilated area, away from moisture and rain, and let the breeze be its guardian. In this way, the garlic retains its original purity and freshness until the next summer.
