How to store garlic? Can you eat sprouted garlic?

1. How to save

1. Hanging on strings: If you want to keep the garlic fresh, you can use the method of hanging on strings to preserve it. This is more common in some families. Pick out the rotten garlic first, then string 8-10 garlic heads together and hang them in a well-ventilated place, such as on the door beam or windowsill.

2. Store in a cool place: If you only want to store it for a short time, you can put it in a cool and well-ventilated place with good air circulation and avoid moisture, which can prevent the garlic from sprouting and rotting. If the garlic shows signs of rotting due to water exposure, the rotten garlic needs to be taken out immediately.

3. Refrigerated storage: Low temperature can effectively preserve garlic. Almost every home has a refrigerator now, so you can put garlic in the refrigerator, but it must be placed in a refrigerated place, not in the freezer.

4. Storage in containers: You can choose a dry jar and put the garlic in it. It does not need to be airtight, and it can still be preserved.

2. Can sprouts be eaten?

If the garlic has just started to sprout and has not rotted or deteriorated, it can be eaten. It will not produce toxins and will not affect the body if eaten. However, once it becomes moldy or rotten, it cannot be eaten.
