Storage technology of garlic

Published: 2024-11-22 Author: mysheen
Last Updated: 2024/11/22, Optimum storage temperature: 0 ℃ relative humidity: garlic above 95%rh has no chilling damage, as long as it is above freezing point (close to 0 ℃), the lower the temperature is, the longer the storage life is. Like other leafy vegetables, garlic also needs higher relative humidity to avoid dehydration and withering. Although the leaf area of truncated garlic is small and the weightlessness of truncated garlic is less than that of pruning garlic, the storage of more than 0 ℃ is often due to wound infection and decay, leaves are easy to yellowing, and the storage life is shortened. Therefore, truncated garlic must be sold within a short period of time.

Therefore, truncated garlic must be sold in the short term, not for long-term storage. If you want to store for a long time, it is best to store the whole garlic at low temperature and make a little refurbishment (such as truncation, etc.) before sale in order to get better quality.
