How to soak garlic?

Ingredients: 250g of purple garlic, one spoonful of sugar (about 3g), 300ml of rice vinegar.

Exercise:

1. Peel off the old skin on the surface of purple garlic. Garlic was broken into small garlic cloves. Wash and dry your hands, and then peel off the skin of each garlic clove (not with water).

2. Peel the garlic cloves, put them in a sealable container, and add a spoonful of white sugar (white sugar is not necessary, southerners suggest adding some, which will make the taste softer). Pour rice vinegar into the jar, the amount of rice vinegar is about the same as that of garlic cloves. Seal the jar (or use a sealed box) and put it in the refrigerator or in a cold place at home (such as a balcony).

After soaking for about 7 days, you can see that about half of the garlic begins to turn green. After soaking for 1 1 days, most garlic turned green. You can eat garlic at this time, but it's not the best. After soaking for more than two weeks, all garlic will turn green, and the garlic taste is the best at this time.

The benefits of eating garlic:

Cancer prevention: Garlic can block the synthesis of nitrosamines, inhibit the growth of cancer cells and kill them.

Cerebrovascular disease: Another nickname given to garlic by scientists is "vascular scavenger". Garlic can reduce blood lipid and blood viscosity and resist platelet aggregation, thus greatly reducing the risk of heart disease, cerebral thrombosis and cerebral hemorrhage.

Promote hair growth: The volatile oil contained in garlic can accelerate blood flow to sebaceous glands and hair follicles, thus promoting hair growth and treating alopecia. Applying garlic paste to scalp can promote hair growth and eliminate dandruff.

Brain-strengthening and intelligence-improving: the components in garlic combine with vitamin B 1 in human body to produce "alliin", which can promote and play the role of vitamin B 1, enhance the oxidative energy supply of carbohydrates, provide enough energy for brain cells and make thinking agile.
