Garlic always fresh and intact for 1 year: only cooks know this kitchen tip

Garlic intact for a year: how to store it

Experienced cooks will surely be familiar with this method of preserving garlic. First, take half a kilo of garlic cloves and soak them for about an hour in  lukewarm water  . After drying them, peel them and you will see that they will flake easily because the skin has softened.

Next, place all the garlic cloves in a sterilized glass jar. Next, pour in two tablespoons of coarse salt, this should be around 30 grams of salt. Now you can add a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or, if you prefer, pour in the wine vinegar, this ingredient will help keep  the garlic intact. 

Finally, bring some water to a boil and let it cool. Before closing the container with its cap, cut a  slice of lemon  and place it on top of the garlic. Close the jar very tightly and shake it so that all the ingredients are mixed.

This way, you will keep your garlic cloves for more than a year in perfect condition and they will not rot. Not only that, because you can consume them whenever you want, without having to peel them every time you need them. This method is used by  many cooks  , it is practical and above all effective.
