Tips for peeling garlic

1. Collision Peeling Method

After slightly spreading the garlic, put it into two bowls of the same size, then put them together and shake them up and down. Soon the garlic skin will fall off. This method only applies to garlic! The disadvantage is that the garlic will be easily damaged by peeling the garlic skin by impact, and the container will also be left with a strong garlic smell.

If you don't have a basin, you can put the garlic heads in a plastic bag and then smash them hard on the table. In less than two or three minutes, when you open the plastic bag, you will find that the skin has peeled off.

2. Traditional tapping method

Use the blade of a knife to tap the garlic twice. After it is flattened a little, the garlic skin will be easier to peel off. This method is suitable for use while cooking because the garlic will be crushed and the whole garlic cannot be preserved.

3. Soaking in water

Soak the garlic in hot water and shake it slightly. The garlic skin will be easier to peel off or may even have fallen off. This is a relatively gentle treatment method. However, because it has been soaked in water, it is easy to sprout. It is recommended to cook it directly. Otherwise, it needs to be soaked in oil or refrigerated.

4. Microwave Heating Method

Heat the garlic cloves in the microwave for 5 to 10 seconds, take out the garlic and cut off the roots, the garlic skin will fall off easily.

5. Kneading method

Prepare a pair of dishwashing gloves, then grab a handful of garlic with the skin on, squeeze it tightly in your hands, and then rub your hands quickly. In this way, the garlic will be in your hands and the garlic skin will be rubbed off.

Tips:

In addition to adding flavor, the nutritional value of garlic cannot be ignored. Garlic is rich in thiamine and allicin, which can inhibit bad bacteria in the stomach and intestines, and can also promote the secretion of insulin, which is beneficial to blood sugar stability. Garlic has been regarded as a health product since ancient times because it is rich in protein and vitamins. Many people also have the habit of eating garlic raw. However, in order to avoid too much bad smell in the mouth and irritation to the stomach, it is still necessary to control the amount used in cooking.
