Detailed Explanation of the Processing Methods for Dehydrated Garlic Flakes and Sweet-and-Sour Pickled Garlic
I. Dehydrated Garlic Flakes: Select fresh garlic bulbs that are well matured, free of injury, free of pests and diseases, white in color, and large in size. After removing the stem ends, separating the cloves, and peeling, slice them while keeping them wet, then rinse them in an aqueous citric acid solution to reduce the activity of garlic enzymes. Note that rinsing must be completed within 24 hours after slicing, so as to prevent the garlic slices from producing colored pigments due to oxidation, which would affect the color of the finished product. Place the rinsed garlic slices in a temperature-controlled dehydrator and control the temperature in three stages: the temperature in the early stage should be controlled at around 60°C, the temperature should be appropriately increased in the middle stage, and in the late stage it should be controlled at 7

Detailed Explanation of Silicon Window Controlled Atmosphere Storage Technology for Garlic Scapes
In the early 1980s, China began large-scale promotion of silicon window controlled atmosphere technology to preserve garlic scapes. It works by embedding a certain area of silicone rubber membrane in a plastic bag to automatically regulate the gas composition inside the bag, achieving the purpose of preservation. It has the characteristics of saving labor, saving time, saving energy, convenient management, stable gas composition, long storage period, low loss, and good quality. The economic benefits are significant, so it was promoted and used on a large scale in a short time. I. Silicon Window Controlled Atmosphere Storage of Garlic Scapes 1. Forms of Silicon Window Use Cold storage silicon window controlled atmosphere has two forms: small packaging fresh-keeping bags and large plastic tents.

Tips for Harvesting Garlic Scapes: Mastering the Method Is Key
1. Timing of harvest. Garlic scapes must be harvested at the right time. Harvesting too early results in low scape yields because the scape has not fully emerged, and after harvest an "excess scape" section will still push out. Harvesting too late not only affects the fresh, tender quality of the scapes because they have become "over-mature," but also reduces garlic bulb yields. The most suitable harvest time is: when the scape has emerged and the "scape tip" has curved nearly a full circle. 2. Choose overcast days or after the sun slants westward on sunny days for harvesting. Harvesting garlic scapes easily leaves "wounds" on the stems and leaves of the garlic. If harvested under strong sunlight on a sunny day, the large transpiration rate and

Six-Clove Garlic
Variety source: Introduced from Japan. Characteristics: Six-Clove Garlic is a selected superior variety from Japan, with strong disease resistance, robust and vigorous growth, and high yield; the garlic bulbs are pure white and have excellent market quality. Cultivation points: Plant in mid-September using double rows on high ridges, covered with plastic film. Plant more than 10,000 plants per mu. It overwinters in the field; after the onset of winter, a layer of thatch must be spread for cold protection, and it is harvested in late June of the following year. Trial and demonstration situation: Six-Clove Garlic is suitable for cultivation in the Dalian area.

How to pickle sweet garlic? A detailed introduction to two preparation methods
Method 1: Choose purple-skin garlic, remove the fibrous roots, leave 1.5 cm of the garlic stalk, peel off 1-2 layers of outer skin, and wash clean. For every 100 kg of garlic, prepare 3 kg of salt and 3 kg of clean water. When putting it into the jar, add one layer of garlic and one layer of salt, and sprinkle a little clean water. To make it easier to turn the jar, add water to the jar on the night the garlic goes in, until the water is level with the garlic. After adding water, stir and turn once by hand, and turn it again the next morning. Starting from the 3rd day after going into the jar, for 3 consecutive days, change the water once a day to remove the spicy taste. Take it out, drain the water for 1 night, and put it into the crock the next day. For every kg of garlic, add white

High-yield and high-benefit "garlic with beans" planting achieves two plantings and three harvests
Interplanting garlic with soybeans is one of the resource-saving agricultural cultivation models currently promoted by the Fujin City Agricultural Technology Extension Center. It rationally matches and combines crops according to their growth patterns and habits, forming a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship: the nitrogen fixation by soybean rhizobia increases the soil's nitrogen content, so the garlic does not suffer nutrient deficiency, which benefits the garlic's later growth and bulb enlargement. The garlic plants, especially the garlic roots, have a strong pungent taste in the soil, which strongly inhibits and kills various soybean pests, viruses and pathogens. Because

What are the methods for keeping garlic scapes fresh? Do this to store them longer
1. Harvesting garlic scapes 1. Harvest at the right time. The suitable harvest period is when the scape stalk has grown out of the terminal leaf and bends to one side (that is, hooks) around in a full circle. Harvested too young, the flavor is poor and it does not keep well; harvested too old, the quality is poor and it has no value for long-term storage. 2. Harvesting method. The "lifting the seedling" method is preferable: hold the scape stalk where it emerges from the terminal leaf with your hand and lift upward, so that the scape stalk breaks off from the base. The cross-sectional wound caused by "lifting the seedling" heals easily, whereas the wound from "cutting the seedling" harvest rots easily. 3. Harvesting time. Choose a sunny day, and by no means harvest on a rainy day.

Detailed Introduction to Three High-Quality Garlic Varieties
Farmers in Zhongmu County, Henan Province, discovered a mutant plant during many years of cultivating "Soviet garlic." After years of purification and rejuvenation, they developed an improved garlic variety, later named Songcheng garlic. Songcheng garlic overcame the original variety's shortcomings of mild spiciness, many small cloves, thin and weak garlic scapes, and purple-red stripes on the outer skin, while preserving the original variety's advantage of large bulbs. This variety has now been extended to the autumn-sowing garlic regions of northern China. According to incomplete statistics, in the autumn-sowing garlic regions of China, the planting area of Songcheng garlic is over 7

Proper preservation and storage of garlic scapes brings high value-added benefits
Garlic scapes should be harvested at the curved-scape stage, generally in mid-May in Shandong. The best harvesting method is pulling the scape, as this causes a small wounded area; if cut, the wounded area is large and prone to mold infection. After purchasing garlic scapes, transport them promptly to the storage site and avoid mechanical damage. When sorting the garlic scapes, remove the scape sheath, cut off the fibrous base portion, and discard damaged, rotten, overly swollen scape bulbs and excessively thin scapes. Then tie the garlic scapes into bundles, align the scape bulbs, and bind them straight and tight. Before loading into the warehouse, the warehouse must be disinfected by burning 5-10 grams of sulfur per cubic meter
