It is time to remove the garlic. As in the old garlic stored?

The fact that garlic has matured in the first place can be judged by the foliage. Winter is usually the end of June, and the spring in the end of July comes the time to dig. For a week or two it will be better if otgrebete land from the bulb so that the saw poloivinu bulbs. On it mainly will be judged later, when you can pull out.

About a week before going to dig, we are always in a knot tying feathers. During this time, the leaves wither, the bulb will be typed more strength and power of the green mass. Since the excavation, as well as onions, garlic in green mass delete is not immediately necessary. Another 6-8 days should be dry. In dry weather on the street, but from heat and sunlight concealing anything in the wet in the room, but in any case not under the air conditioning or near a radiator.

But it is not necessary to store garlic as onions. Garlic demanding humidity may dry out during storage. Hostess come up with some tricks in order to spice up without wincing winter. For example, wrap in plastic wrap or even I've heard that dipped in paraffin.

And I was wondering, and some were cunning people in the old days? I talked to grandparents and learned many interesting things. It turns out, that garlic is well preserved, it used to sprinkle the ashes. But from drying out I am not really saved, but not rotten.

Yet this is an interesting way, which in our day use good hostess. peeled garlic cloves fill the glass jar. Can be half, but you can complete, if the oil is not necessary so much. Fill jar need vegetable oil which is previously brought to a boil and cooled down. Can be stored in a cool dark place. If winter tuck this fragrant oil salads, make sure you get a very spicy taste.

Yet such an interesting way to store, my grandmother also applied: it is necessary to wet bags of linen fabric in concentrated salt solution (of conventional edible salt), dried and stored in these bags garlic. The main thing is that the storage temperature was low.

And how do you store garlic?
