Hi all!
Now autumn is the harvest. It's good when the harvest is big. But sometimes we do not know how to keep it as long as possible. I had a similar problem with garlic.
If you just leave it to lie, then after a while we will see the following picture:
In order to prevent the garlic from sprouting, I decided to ferment part of it.
It is very easy to do this. It is necessary to peel each clove of garlic from the husk, wash it, put it in a clean, disinfected jar and pour it with a solution of water and salt. You can easily find the exact recipe on the Internet. The main thing is to put it to ferment not in the kitchen, since during fermentation, garlic emits a very strong smell due to its essential oils. I put it in the locker on the balcony.
It is important not to cover the jars with a lid, but only slightly cover them a little on top, as the gases collected inside the jar due to fermentation can burst it. Twice a day - in the morning and in the evening - you need to drown the garlic in a liquid (it will float to the surface during fermentation) so that mold does not appear on it. After a couple of weeks, when the fermentation is over, a jar of garlic should be put in the refrigerator, where it can stand for quite some time.
As you can see, the garlic is beautiful and fragrant. The longer it stays in the fridge, the tastier it becomes. It is very tasty with first courses: various soups, borscht, etc.
In addition, fermented garlic is very rich in lactobacilli, which are necessary for good digestion, and therefore health.
Make fermented foods and be healthy!!!

Hey! wow! this is a great privilege! but unfortunately I don't speak English 🙈
That’s a great idea to keep the garlic fresh for longer. Mine turned to dust when I tried to use it yesterday, I threw away most of it. I shall try your method in the future.
It looks like yours is still sprouting in the jar. Or was it already sprouting before you put them in the jars?
oh what a pity you had to throw away the garlic. yes, my garlic started to sprout before I put it to ferment. so it looks so funny with a ponytail. 😁 so I started looking on the Internet for information on how to preserve it and found a recipe for garlic fermentation. we noticed that the longer this garlic is in the refrigerator, the better it tastes.
Amazing! I will sure try your tip to preserve my garlic too. I love it too much to let it go to waste again 💙
yes, try this. I'm sure you'll like it! 😀
I will! And yes, they’re cute with the ponytails 😁
I think I might need that bit of fermented garlic.

You're welcome. Keep up the good work. 😊
Having fermented garlic is not only convenient and quicker to use, but it also helps to prevent waste.
I've never done this myself, but it's something that I considered looking into. You've given me the right nudge here, and your instructions look pretty straightforward:)))
you are right! this is really simple. You can find many detailed recipes on the Internet on how to do this. you can do it!
Thanks, I'll give it a go:)
What a great idea to preserve your harvest and you get all that fermented goodness!
I was surprised how well it worked. this is really good for us 😀
Вот и правильно. Витамины всегда пригодятся :-) Хотя я сырой люблю больше квашеного.
в Израиле чеснок постоянно присутствует в составе блюд. мы тоже его используем довольно часто и в разных видах. Я даже сухой в порошке купила - более удобно для некоторых блюд. а у вас действительно квасят чеснок? квашенный и ферментированный это одно и тоже? 🤔🙈
...я чеснок чаще всего квашу вместе с другими овощами типа таких :-)

и ферментация, на мой взгляд, это то же квашение только без груза...
надо бы мне как-то разобраться в этом. я не пойму, в чем разница 🙈🙄
...Я ПОНИМАЮ ТАК, ЧТО ФЕРМЕНТИРОВАННЫЙ ЭТО ПО-НАУЧНОМУ, А В ОБИХОДЕ ВСЕ ГОВОРЯТ КВАШЕНЫЙ :-)
😁😁😁 наверное, ты права, дорогая!!!!! 😀
