Garlic is always fresh and intact for a year: only chefs know this trick in the kitchen

Untouched garlic for a year: how to store it

Experienced chefs are certainly familiar with this method of storing garlic. First, take half a kilo of garlic cloves and soak them in  warm water for about an hour  . After drying them, peel them and you will see that they peel easily because the skin has become softer.

Next, place all the garlic cloves in a sterilized glass jar. Then pour in two tablespoons of coarse salt, there should be about 30 grams of salt. Now you can add a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or, if you prefer, pour the wine vinegar, this ingredient will help  keep the garlic intact. 

Finally, bring some water to the boil and let it cool. Before closing the container with the lid, cut a  slice of lemon  and place it on top of the garlic. Close the jar very tightly and shake to mix all the ingredients.

This means your garlic cloves will stay in perfect condition for over a year and will not rot. Not only that, because you can consume them whenever you want without having to peel them every time you need to use them. This method is used by  many chefs  , it is practical and, above all, effective.
