Garlic always fresh and intact for a whole year: only chefs know this trick in the kitchen

Garlic Intact for a Year: How to Store It

Experienced chefs surely know this method for preserving garlic. First, take half a kilo of garlic cloves and soak them for about an hour in warm water. After drying them, peel them, and you’ll see that they peel easily as the skin has softened.

Next, put all the garlic cloves in a sterilized jar. Then add two tablespoons of coarse salt, about 30 grams. Now, you can add a few spoons of apple cider vinegar, or if you prefer, wine vinegar. This ingredient helps keep the garlic intact.

Finally, bring some water to boil and let it cool. Before sealing the container with the lid, cut a slice of lemon and place it on the garlic. Seal the jar very well and shake it so that all the ingredients mix together.

This way, your garlic cloves remain in perfect condition for over a year, and they won’t rot. Moreover, you can consume them at any time, without having to peel them each time you want to use them. This method is used by many chefs, as it is practical and most importantly, effective.
