In our life, we will use garlic as the seasoning for cooking. Using garlic can help some dishes to taste better. But if it is not properly preserved, it is easy to sprout. How can we preserve garlic without sprouting? Let's take a look at it together with sihaiwang Xiaobian.
1. Many families like to unpack the garlic they bought and throw it at the corner of the kitchen. This is not advisable. The air humidity in the kitchen is relatively high. Once the garlic is exposed in the air, it is easy for the garlic to absorb water and speed up the germination of the garlic. Therefore, after buying the garlic, it is better to tie the mouth of the plastic bag tightly to prevent the garlic from absorbing moisture.
2. The garlic can also be put into an empty bottle or jar with a sealed cover, which can not only prevent moisture, but also reduce the oxygen concentration in the storage environment, increase the carbon dioxide concentration, and inhibit the germination of garlic.
3. Low temperature can inhibit the sprouting of garlic. Therefore, garlic can be stored in the refrigerated room of the refrigerator, which is the anti sprouting method adopted by many families now. Note that garlic should not be stored below zero, let alone frozen, which is easy to cause nutritional loss of garlic.
4. High temperature can also inhibit the sprouting of garlic. If there is a microwave oven at home, put the garlic in the microwave oven and heat it for about one minute, depending on the specific parameters of each microwave oven. Heat the garlic until it feels a little hot. Don't overheat it. Otherwise, it will be roasted completely and can't be eaten at a time. If you can't grasp it, you can first test with a garlic clove to determine the right time. After such high-temperature treatment, garlic can be placed at will without easy germination, of course, can not be thrown in a wet place.
5. If there is an oven that can control the temperature and adjust the temperature at home, it is best to use the oven to inhibit germination at high temperature. Set the temperature at about 45 ℃ and bake in the oven for about 15 minutes. After high temperature treatment, it is not easy to germinate in the kitchen for ten and a half days.
6. Some garlic is about to germinate when it is purchased. Therefore, low temperature or high temperature are difficult to inhibit its germination. For this kind of garlic, we can peel off its skin, cut off the germ of garlic petal, and then adjust the tip of the sprout, so that the garlic can no longer sprout and grow seedlings. Finally, we can refrigerate the garlic cloves which have been treated with germ, or put them at will, but the water loss may be dry after a long time.
