In terms of vegetables, we definitely know there is this harvesting seasons. But we also definitely know these seasons will end and the production will become low once again until the next harvesting. Some people who are in great need of such vegetables really have to do something for them not to stop their business process.

One common vegetable that we use at home is garlic. There are several types of garlics which can be use for the different meals that we need to cook. But as the season slowly reaches its end, you already know that you need to store lots of them until you are able to use something until the next harvesting season. With these, here are several tips on how to store garlic and in keeping all of it fresh.

You have to keep in mind that by selecting garlic you have to notice things in or on its bulbs. Avoid the ones that are damaged, soft, and or still sprouting. The ones you truly need are those undamaged ones so you could still use them like as good as new after quite some time of storing.

The most common ways of storing this vegetable is by placing them in mesh bags or in your loose woven baskets. These are the common things that we see in the market. This could help every piece to breathe and stay good until the right time that you are going to use them. There are also those that got flexible tops and you may braid them and hang somewhere in your kitchen or other parts of your house.

You could also store it inside your fridge. Place them in your fridge and inside its crisp drawer. This place will help keep the humidity off from causing problems to the body parts of your vegetable. But remember when you take it out and place under room temperature, it will sprout after several days. Thus, only take it out when you really have to use it.

The freezer is also an excellent place in storing your garlic. Mostly, people will think that using frozen garlics is definitely bad unlike using the fresh ones. But by doing a simple preparation, keeping it fresh is very possible. Just mince the clover inside your blender, place them inside ice cube tray or on several silicone sheets. Move them out from the freezer after freezing then move it to your airtight container.

You may even make your very own dehydrated garlic. This is just easy. Slice thinly your peeled garlic then pop those slices to a food dehydrator or oven but keep the door ajar. If you use the oven, maintain a good 115 degrees temperature. Once all of them are crisp, store them in airtight container. This could be stored in room temperature and can be good for many months.

You could even simply roast it. This is what most users do in keeping their garlic. It is because it is still okay if you freeze it after you did the roasting. It will be great to use the longest time you may think. Also, roasting it is what we commonly do when we cook our meals.

There are so many other ways in keeping this vegetable fresh and good. The things mentioned are the most common ones used worldwide. Follow these tips and you will surely enjoy your vegetable in the long run.
