How should garlic be stored to keep it fresh? These methods are very practical

1. High-temperature storage. Keeping garlic in a relatively high temperature environment between 28-32°C can keep it from sprouting, thereby extending its storage time, but this method is only suitable for shorter-term storage, because the garlic bulbs are prone to losing water, becoming spongy, and shrinking. 2. Low-humidity storage. Use mechanical refrigeration (constant-temperature warehouse storage) to lower the temperature, inhibit its life activities, and control the sprouting of the cloves. This method is currently widely used. 3. Controlled-atmosphere storage. By using the inhibitory effect of the gaseous environment on life activities, under suitable low-temperature conditions, adjust

3. Controlled-atmosphere storage. By using the inhibitory effect of the gaseous environment on life activities, under suitable low-temperature conditions, adjust the gas composition to achieve the purpose of preservation.

4. Irradiation preservation. Use C0 gamma rays to irradiate garlic bulbs, inhibit young sprouts, kill insects and sterilize, and it is suitable for storing garlic for a longer period of time
