What is the proper way to store garlic? Should it be kept refrigerated, or frozen?

There are many ways to store garlic, which can be said to be benevolent and wise! Below, as a senior garlic countryman, I'll briefly talk about the storage method:

One, the most long-term storage method is to make garlic slices, that is, peel the garlic, cut it into a piece of a piece of garlic, and then use the dryer to dry, there is almost no moisture, and then put it into a sealed generation, and try to try to cut off the outside world, do not let the air into, put three to five years is no problem.

Two, cold storage storage, the general temperature control at minus three degrees or so, garlic is not long buds, this is the most common storage of garlic producing areas, can be stored on a large scale, the storage time is not more than one and a half years, time and then longer, on the loss of water is serious, the taste is not.

Three, heat enlightenment, as the name suggests, is in the high temperature with a raincoat cover, in the cool of the day, do not let the outside of the cool air into the use of garlic inside the heat generated by themselves to maintain a proper temperature, thereby inhibiting the germination of garlic, the disadvantage is that the temperature must be controlled, too high will be enlightened bad garlic, deterioration.

Four, laser scanning, that is, using X-ray to kill the garlic teeth, in the cold storage is not large-scale development, refrigeration technology is not yet the case, large-scale export of oceangoing, long time storage are this approach, and later because it is easier to lose moisture, cost issues, taste is not as good as refrigeration, it is phased out. Now almost few people use it.

Five, personally, put the refrigerator is not working, the freezing point of garlic is minus three degrees, freezer will freeze, fresh box will germinate, the best way is to pickle, that is, with fresh garlic just out of the ground, with the marinade sold in the market, plus a certain percentage of water on it.

Overall the storage of garlic should be placed in a dry and ventilated place, humidity and high temperature will cause garlic to germinate. But even if the germination is not afraid, you can put it directly in a place with higher temperature and put water underneath to generate garlic seedlings. In the past, the rural areas with insufficient supply of vegetables, the winter vegetables are single, basically turnips, sauerkraut, potatoes. Families are born some garlic seedlings to spice up the winter table taste.
