How to preserve garlic after peeling?

The peeled garlic can be preserved by cold storage and freezing, and the specific choice depends on the storage time and use requirements. ‌

Cold storage: suitable for short-term use (a few days to a week). Put the peeled garlic in a sealed fresh-keeping box or plastic bag and put it in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator. This method can keep the freshness and taste of garlic, but the storage time is limited, usually only about 7 days. ‌

Cryopreservation: Suitable for long-term storage (weeks to months). Put the peeled garlic cloves into sealed plastic bags or containers separately, and put them into the freezer after air is removed. Although the frozen garlic will lose its original crispness and become soft and waxy, its fragrance is still rich, so it is suitable for cooking without thawing.

When preserving garlic, you should pay attention to the following points: First, it is not recommended to put the whole peeled garlic in the refrigerator or freezer, because the humid environment may promote the growth of mold. Secondly, it is best not to freeze the thawed garlic again to avoid the risk of bacterial growth. Finally, whether it is refrigerated or frozen, it is necessary to ensure that garlic is placed in a sealed container or plastic bag to prevent water loss and absorb the odor in the refrigerator.
