Garlic is considered by many to be a natural antiseptic – it is used both in its pure form and added to many dishes.

Many of us grow garlic in our gardens and vegetable patches. It is not surprising that there is a desire to preserve the harvest as long as possible.

If you properly observe the storage conditions at your dacha or apartment, it will remain intact for a long period.

We want to share a life hack that will allow you to extend this period.

How to Properly Store Garlic

Use lattice boxes that have basic ventilation.

And now the most important thing is to sprinkle the bottom of the box with salt or onion peel. This will allow the vegetable to stay fresh for a long time.

The second, simpler life hack is to soak a bag in salt, dry it and put the garlic in it. This way, it will last longer.
