“Garlic always fresh and intact for 1 whole year – only chefs know this kitchen trick.” (Page 2 ) | March 22, 2025

But  how can we preserve it?  There is a fantastic remedy to keep garlic in perfect condition without rotting for at least a year:  let’s see it  .

Intact Garlic for a Year:  How to Preserve It The most experienced chefs will surely know this method of preserving garlic. First, take half a kilo of garlic cloves and soak them in hot water for about an hour. After drying them, peel them and you will see that they will separate easily because the skin will have softened.

Next, put all the garlic cloves in a sterilized glass jar. Then add two tablespoons of coarse salt, which is equivalent to about 30 grams of salt. At this point you can add a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or, if you prefer, wine vinegar: this ingredient will help keep the garlic intact.

Finally, boil the water and let it cool. Before closing the jar with the lid, cut a slice of lemon and place it on top of the garlic. Close the jar tightly and shake it so that all the ingredients mix together.

This way the garlic cloves are preserved in perfect conditions for more than a year and do not rot. In addition, they can consume them whenever they want, without having to peel them every time they use them. This method is used by many chefs, it is practical and above all effective.
