Garlic is a favorite spice for many, which is a great help in the process of preparing various snacks or complex dishes.

That's why experienced cooks always keep garlic in the house so that the treats are more aromatic and tasty when guests arrive.

Many summer residents prefer to grow garlic themselves for the same reason. After all, the crop is quite unpretentious, and it is quite easy to get a quality harvest.

But not everyone knows how to store garlic so that the heads remain fresh as long as possible.

Experienced housewives know one proven method that will help preserve the product.

To do this, you need to prepare any container.

But well-dried sand should be poured onto the bottom so that it completely covers the bottom.

The garlic should be placed on it in such a way that the heads do not touch each other.

Then the fruits should be covered with sand so that they are not visible, and then the garlic should be laid out again and also covered with a layer of sand.

The container should be closed with a lid and put in a cool place.
