Garlic is best used fresh, but if you need to store it, keep it in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight.
You can also store chopped or crushed garlic in olive oil, but make sure to refrigerate it and use it within a week to avoid the risk of botulism.
Variations:
If you prefer a milder flavor, try roasting garlic instead of using it raw.
Add freshly chopped garlic to homemade hummus or pesto for an extra burst of flavor.
FAQ:
Can I use garlic supplements instead of fresh garlic?
Yes, garlic supplements can offer some benefits, but they don’t have the same full spectrum of nutrients and enzymes that fresh garlic does.
Can I make garlic oil at home?
Yes, you can infuse olive oil with garlic, but remember to refrigerate it and use it within a week to ensure safety.
What if I don’t have time to let the garlic sit?
Ideally, you should let it sit for a few minutes. If you're in a rush, simply try to use garlic raw in your dishes to get more health benefits.
