Garlic is excellent in cooking and excellent for your health. Only, we do not need very large quantities to flavor a dish.

So how do you store garlic longer so you don't spoil it?

Are you looking for tips to keep it longer?

Fortunately, here are 5 simple little tips from grandma to keep it.

1. Hang it up

Garlic hates being piled up. It needs air to keep longer and not to rot. It is not for nothing that our grandmothers braided it!

Above all, do not lock it up and hang it up in a place where it can breathe.

2. Take care of the garlic

Take care of your garlic, because it is very fragile, contrary to appearances. And above all, avoid blows that could damage it.

3. Keep it in the fridge

Have you peeled too much garlic? Don't spoil it and put the leftovers in the fridge. You will be able to use it in the next few days.

You don't plan to cook again in the next few days: why not freeze it?

4. Use a lighter

To keep a clove of garlic longer, just burn the little hairs on the garlic head with a lighter or a candle.

5. Recycle the bulb

When the germ appears, the flavor of the garlic changes. Its taste and also medicinal qualities decrease.

Do not throw it away! Plant the pod in a pot or in the ground. Soon green stems will grow. Use these stems, chopped, for your omelets for example.
