When you buy it like that, fermenting whole cloves in a 2.5% salt brine is a good way for long term storage. I grow garlic, and after it's cured I simply braid a dozen heads together. Stored in a cool dry place, it literally lasts for 4 to 8 months. (depending on the type). It's also very cool looking as it hangs in your kitchen.
I also grow garlic and usually braid it for storage. However this year we had drought, then big downpours, then drought, then more storms. The garlic didn't grow well, and got knocked flat in the last rains, so I have a lot of small heads. My chef (husband) doesn't like messing about with small garlic cloves, so I thought I'd try preparing them so he just has to use a spoonful or two. I'm not sure if there's enough for freezing, but a jar each of sliced & chopped in oil, and maybe one in brine might make sure that the crop isn't wasted.
Thanks so much for the video. You are so lucky you can buy such huge quantities of already peeled garlic. Unfortunately, where I live, I will have to buy whole garlic, peel, etc 😂I've never seen such huge bags of already peeled garlic 🤣
After the pandemic, the garlic prices are much cheaper than before. But I still buy the large bag and store on the freezer, just like what I expanded on RUclips. It's much more economical and convenient. Thank you for watching Loving and Sharing with Mei Lien 🙂
You don’t even need the oil … just mince and put into ice cube tray press down to compact the garlic once frozen you can pop them right out into a zip lock bag for easy access
Amazing video very helpful !!! Thank you❤ Please try switching to healthier oil varities such a high oleic sunflower oil, or avocado oil, peanut oil, or coconut oil. The canola is advertised as heart healthy but is toxic because of how they process and use gmo corn not vegetables..and may cause health problems over time. Thank you again im going to get started on my garlic processing today !
To get rid of the garlic smell, rub your fingers on your kitchen tap, where the water comes out - the smell will be instantly gone - thx for all your tips and tricks - Cheers from Canada 🍁
I would caution everyone AGAINST using Canola oil… other than that, thank you for a very informative video, and bless you for having shared this information
Most canola is chemically extracted using a solvent called hexane, and heat is often applied which can affect the stability of the oil's molecules, turn it rancid, destroy the omega-3s in it, and can even create trans fats. But it's still good oil.
The best ways for preserving the onions are cut into slices, cubes, or chunks and freeze in plastic bags. Thank you for watching Loving and Sharing with Mei Lien 😄

Hi, I didn't peel or slice but just put the whole bulb in the freezer. When I need it, I thaw it out but it became soft. Is it ok to eat? Thank you for sharing.
Sure, you can still eat the soft one. Although it's soft, when you cook, it will be pretty much the same as the fresh garlic. Thank you for watching Loving and Sharing with Mei Lien 😄
I have mentioned several times that there are many researchers who have shown that Canola oil is rich in vitamins E and K and contains twice as much omega 6 as omega 3 fatty acids. However It is not a good oil for frying. So it is ok to use for this recipe. Thank you for watching Loving and Sharing with Mei Lien
PLEASE HELP.... Ive watched a few videos and i just got fresh peeled garlic and put it in a jar with extra virgin olive oil. How long does it last in the fridge? Google says 7 days. I want to be sure i have a pregnant wife and dont wanna have anything eaten that shouldn't be. Im looking for long term use and store. Thank you!
Yes, you still can use it for a long time without the cooking oil, but the color will be changed to light brown. Thank you for watching Loving and Sharing with Mei Lien.
Hi, I'm using Avocado 🥑 oil with my garlic. I watched a video and he said better tasting with milder oil of Avocado as it doesn't affect the flavor of garlic. I just finished doing up a litre size jar.
Storing garlic in oil without using citric acid is dangerous. That oiled garlic shouldn't be kept in the fridge, it's possible that it's okay as you got the cloves out of a bag so they are already preserved but that's definitely NOT okay for fresh garlic.
We use canola oil back home a lot so far my mom 92 yrs never get sick and me moved in America particular what I eat since doesn’t wanna gain much weight got breast cancer.
You can keep the frozen one for several months in the freezer. And you can keep one inside of the oil for a month in the refrigerator. Thank you for watching Loving and Sharing with Mei Lien.

@@tristpaking8818 next time you do it add some vinegar or a tablespoon of fresh lime juice to a small amount to experiment.

I'm trying the garlic, will update you on how it holds up if you're interested.
I do not believe this will preserve the garlic. I could be wrong. But I tried this years ago and the garlic spoiled. I would like to understand this but please do plenty 9f homework

I am an old time canner gal. It's how my family lived for years. Garlic is too low in acidity to be able to not get botulism. I would just caution you to warn people that you can not be held responsible if something goes wrong. A disclaimer. I seriously was going to give the garlic oil out as Christmas gifts. But i seen in a couple weeks something was very wrong. I don't know how you could be keeping it for a month. I am not making this up. I don't want to see anyone get hurt or in trouble. It was just a caution warning.
