A little trick will allow you to always keep garlic on hand, but at the same time the vegetable will not rot or become covered with black spots.

You won't need any magic solutions for this. You'll need just one ingredient that's definitely in every kitchen.

Garlic does not necessarily need to be stored in a cellar, basement or garage. It will stay fresh even at home.

How to Store Garlic

First, you need to prepare a container in which to store the garlic. The fruits must be thoroughly dried. Then the vegetable is placed in layers in a jar and sprinkled with salt.

This product keeps humidity to a minimum and has disinfectant properties. As a result, garlic is stored from several months to a year without losing its properties.

Some housewives do without salt. They store the vegetable in any container, but before that they burn the bottom of the garlic with matches or a lighter. They also go over the stem with fire. Thanks to this, the harvest is stored longer, does not sprout or rot.
