Having collected an excellent harvest of garlic, not everyone manages to preserve it until spring. Even if this spicy vegetable is stored in a very dry and warm place, it starts to sprout in April-May. As such, it cannot be used for cooking. You want to keep healthy and healthy garlic as long as possible.
There are two interesting and unusual ways to process and use garlic in a different form.
The first way to preserve garlic is to dry it. To do this, you need to cut each clove into slices. Troubled business, but worth it. Then dry it. In an electric dryer, on a warm stove on baking sheets, by the battery. Depends on your capabilities and living conditions.
You can also grind dried garlic into powder in different ways, the easiest is with a coffee grinder. You need to store it in a glass container with a lid. Use like regular garlic.
The second way is to plant the heads of garlic in the ground to get greens. So that the garlic bed does not take up much space, you can take a 5 liter plastic container. Cut holes in it to fit your heads of garlic. The holes must be temporarily closed with tape. Fill the jar with earth.
Opening the holes one at a time, plant the heads of garlic there. Put it in the light and do not forget to water. Enjoying fresh garlic herbs in winter will be a pleasant result of your labor.
You can do the same with sprouting onions.
