Is garlic dried in the shade or in the sun?

Garlic is recommended to be dried in the shade, not exposed to the sun. This can prolong the storage time of garlic, and also make garlic look better and have higher value.

Generally speaking, fresh garlic is rich in water, and the main function of garlic skin is to protect the garlic cloves inside. The effect of direct exposure is that it is easy to "sun-ripen", so the storage time of garlic is too short.

In addition, the moisture contained in fresh garlic will evaporate a lot after exposure, and garlic cloves will become soft and easy to change color under high temperature exposure.

Garlic is a common condiment in life, which can be eaten raw or used as a seasoning for cooking. There are many ways to deal with it.

It should be noted that the difference between new garlic and old garlic is quite big. Compared with the two, the old garlic is more spicy, and the new garlic is not spicy.

Of course, the color of the new garlic is mostly white, and the surface is smooth, the face value is still very high, and the taste is relatively light.

Horsetail garlic is garlic after secondary growth, and it is also called horsetail in life. The terminal buds germinate and grow many slender leaves, like ponytails.

If garlic has germinated, it is not recommended to buy garlic in kind, because it will consume the nutrients of garlic itself during the growth process and affect the edible taste of garlic.
