Without a cellar, we were faced with the task of preserving a large harvest of garlic from the dacha. To prevent it from wilting, drying out, and sprouting, we found a simple and effective method.

Place ripe, well-dried and soil-cleaned garlic in a regular ceramic pot with a lid.

Before this, wash the pot thoroughly with soda and dry it.

Place the garlic tightly, cover with a lid, leaving it slightly ajar, and place on the top shelf of the kitchen cabinet. Periodically, once or twice during the winter, check the garlic.

This way it will keep all year round.

Advantages of storing in a ceramic pot:

Ceramic walls protect the garlic from direct sunlight, preventing it from sprouting;

Ceramics create an optimal microclimate inside, thanks to which the garlic stays fresh for a long time, preserving its taste and beneficial properties;

This pot will decorate your kitchen interior and garlic will always be at hand.

This method turned out to be not only simple, but also extremely effective.

A pot of, say, three liters can hold enough garlic.

We start using it towards the end of winter, when the rest of the garlic has already lost its properties.

A ceramic pot has become the ideal solution for me to preserve garlic.
