First: make garlic paste, garlic paste is actually what we often call garlic, usually cold dishes or hot pot will often use this kind of garlic paste, garlic made into garlic paste tastes better, the taste is more unique, the production method is relatively simple, such as directly crushed with garlic utensils, or with a special garlic jar to knock into garlic paste, the knocked garlic paste is viscous and fine.

Third: raising garlic seedlings, the garlic at home has begun to sprout, and if you can't eat it, it is very suitable to raise garlic seedlings, the method is also very simple, prepare a plate container, thread the garlic cloves with wire in a circle, remember when wearing, do not let the wire pass through the middle of the garlic, because the middle part is the garlic sprout, and the garlic seedlings will not grow after passing through.

After wearing it, it is neatly placed on the plate, add an appropriate amount of water, the water does not need too much, as long as it can cover the bottom of the garlic cloves, with the growth of garlic seedlings, you can also add water at any time, and after the garlic seedlings are mature, you can cut the garlic seedlings, cut them for seasoning or eat directly, which is very good.

Garlic is generally eaten as a condiment. The garlic that can't be eaten can be planted in a flower pot, and garlic seedlings can be eaten after careful care; Or pickle the excess garlic, and eat sweet garlic or laba garlic.

Garlic can be mashed into garlic, or it can be eaten raw or added to vegetables for seasoning, and the garlic that can't be eaten can be made into garlic paste and put in a bottle, or it can be pickled and turned into pickled garlic.

It can be eaten roasted, and the garlic that comes out of the roast is fragrant. It can also be pickled, and now there is a kind of black garlic on the market that is pickled.

First, it can be eaten directly; second, it can be pickled in sweet and sour; Thirdly, it can be mashed and mixed into a sauce.

Garlic that can't be eaten can be preserved in this way, and you are no longer afraid of wasting it.

If it spoils, it can't be eaten. According to factors such as the preservation environment and its own freshness, garlic can be stored for a long and short time, and generally as long as the garlic is normal, the garlic can continue to be eaten, so there is no clear time regulation for how long the garlic can not be eaten.

But as long as the garlic has deteriorated, it means that a large number of harmful bacteria and microorganisms have been bred, and after such garlic is eaten, it may cause physical discomfort, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms, so no matter how long the garlic is placed, as long as there is a spoilage, it cannot be eaten.

What garlic looks like when it goes bad:

1. Appearance: When garlic deteriorates, it will gradually shrink, soften, blacken, brown and even rot from the state of sufficient moisture, full flesh, hard texture and white color.

2. Smell: Because garlic contains allicin, the smell of garlic is spicy under normal circumstances, and when it deteriorates, the nutrients in it are decomposed, which will produce alcohol, rancid odor and other peculiar smells.

How to save:

1. Refrigerator preservation: Since garlic will only begin to grow and sprout when there is a suitable temperature and humidity, garlic can be refrigerated to keep garlic in a dormant state, and it can inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria and microorganisms, thereby prolonging the germination time of garlic.

2. Dry and ventilated preservation: dry the garlic to remove some water, which can reduce the breeding of bacteria and microorganisms, and then store the garlic in a dry and ventilated place.

In daily life, garlic is one of the must-have spices in the kitchen.

Whether it is stir-fried vegetables or stir-fried meat, garlic will be enlarged for seasoning, which is simply not too fragrant.

When picking garlic, take a look at the color of the garlic's skin. Generally, the normal garlic skin color will be a little purple, while the poor garlic will be whitish. Although this white garlic has a good appearance, the nutrients in it are not high.

Garlic has a strong anti-cancer effect, garlic plays an anti-cancer role is allicin, only by cutting garlic into slices and exposing it to the air for about 15 minutes, so that it can be combined with oxygen in the air to produce allicin, so that eating can better play the nutritional value of garlic.

The benefits of regular consumption of garlic for human health are well known. These benefits are all made possible by something in garlic called allicin. Allicin has many effects, it is a broad-spectrum antibacterial drug, with anti-inflammatory, blood pressure, blood lipid, inhibition of platelet aggregation, anti-cancer, antiviral and other biological functions, but also significantly improve the body's immunity.

However, eating garlic is very particular, and not just eating it can make these pharmacological effects of allicin work. If you can't eat it scientifically and correctly, even if you eat more garlic, it won't help. Because the production of allicin requires a certain process, it is necessary to create some necessary conditions to make allicin produce an effect in order to play a beneficial role in human health.

Therefore, in order to make garlic produce allicin, when eating garlic, the first thing is to eat it raw, and if there is no stomach discomfort, try to eat garlic raw, so as not to lose the pharmacological activity of allicin in a hot environment; The second is to mash or cut into thin slices and expose to the air for 15 to 20 minutes before eating, with the aim of allowing the garlic to fully oxidize and react with the garlic enzyme in an aerobic environment to produce allicin. You don't have to eat a lot every day, just three or five petals.
