Don't throw away sprouted garlic; keep it to sterilize and grow garlic sprouts, it has many uses

Garlic is a very common herbaceous plant and an indispensable food on people's dining tables. Because garlic has a unique aroma, it is often used as a seasoning, which can both remove unpleasant odors and make dishes more fragrant. Garlic also has disinfecting and sterilizing effects, and to a certain extent can prevent bacterial infections in daily life; garlic also has anti-cancer effects, and it has a very strong inhibitory effect on diseases of the digestive tract; garlic also has the effect of delaying aging, and eating garlic often can resist oxidation and slow down the aging rate of cells.

Since garlic has so many benefits, everyone will certainly buy garlic often to eat, but generally garlic will absorb moisture and sprout after being stored for a long time, and people basically do not eat sprouted garlic. First, they are not sure whether it is toxic, and second, it may affect its original effects. But in fact this is a misunderstanding. Sprouted garlic also has many uses, so be sure not to throw it away. Today the editor will explain to everyone several uses of sprouted garlic.

The first use is that it can be made into a plant disinfectant. The method is very simple. Everyone just needs to peel the garlic and cut it into small pieces, then put it into a container with clean water. After stirring it properly, pour the liquid into a spray bottle. Because garlic also contains alliin, which can kill flower pathogens, spraying some on flowers can play a disinfecting role, and the effect is very good.

The second use is that it can be used to grow garlic sprouts. Just prepare a flower pot filled with sufficiently moist soil, bury the sprouted garlic in it, and then place it in a place with plenty of light and good ventilation. Remember to water it frequently every day, and before long, fresh garlic sprouts will grow quickly. This also saves money on buying vegetables.

The third use is that it can be used to remove pests. Everyone can cut the sprouted garlic into finely chopped garlic bits, then sprinkle them into the flower pot. The allicin unique to garlic can kill ants, pests and other insects harmful to flowers, so that the flowers can grow better.

Although sprouted garlic still has many benefits, everyone still prefers to eat garlic that has not sprouted, so how can garlic be kept from absorbing moisture and sprouting after being bought? The editor will teach everyone some small tips here: in fact, just put the garlic you bought into a bag and tie it tightly, preferably so that air cannot get in. This blocks the moisture in the air and will slow down the speed at which garlic sprouts; if the bag cannot be tied tightly, you can also put the garlic in a sealed jar, which can also achieve a moisture-proof effect; if there is no jar, you can also store the garlic in the refrigerator, but be sure not to put it in the freezer, as this will destroy the nutritional components of the garlic; another method is to first heat the garlic in the microwave, and then it will not sprout easily.
