    I used this method last year (2023) when I harvested all my home-grown garlic. I’m just now finishing the last of my pint jar of garlic and it still tastes, smells, and behaves just like fresh garlic. The only way to go! Thanks!!

      The method where you put the garlic cloves in a hard container like glass or metal or Tupperware and shake them hard to remove the peels works pretty well. Thanks for watching!

    As a garlic lover (I can eat it raw 😂) I'm obsessed with this video and love how scientific you got with it! My parents are restaurant owners so I grew up always having the minced garlic ready in the fridge. They would bring it from work. I've always wondered how h-mart had those too - I thought they added some preservatives haha So interesting to learn about allicin!

A lot of people have started harvesting and storing food. So throughout fall and winter I know you'll get a lot more views. My opinion is I would have preferred your vid was number one, at the top of the list. Because after watching yours I would have looked at a few more just to see and compare. But there really isn't any other like yours. Your vid is THE BEST!!

    Thks a lot never never was able to keep garlic for too long
    Would normally store it at room temp, but after awhile the garlic would start to grow those nasty green stems inside so it wouldn’t stay fresh for long
    Which meant I had to always buy small amounts and would constantly be running out and that’s fustriating
    I would see those bags of pealed garlic at Costco and would always think you have to be in the food business to buy that and use it all before it would go bad

    quick question cause it kind of confusing.
    So, should I crush it first then put it on the food processor or just put it in the food processor right away after cutting the end(since it will be minced anyway)? {because at 5:06 the knowledge is said when you minced or crush}.
    Or maybe it means the same thing since allicin is created anyway?

      These botulinum spores found in soil are harmless when there is oxygen present. But when spore-containing garlic is bottled and covered with oil, an oxygen-free environment is created that promotes the germination of the spores and produces a toxin that can occur at 50 degrees Fahrenheit or above.

I used this video, and the one below, for making both safely. Research, research, research for the specific use you are doing. This is from OSU Food Specialist.

      I believe it's just the defrosted particles from the freezing stage. But it wouldn't hurt to add water. Downside is if you use it for frying you'll have more oil splatter. Our garlic stays good for months in the fridge after being defrosted from the freezer.

Idk, i've been doing this for almost a year and the garlic always looks good to use for up to 2 - 3 weeks. But idk if it's really safe for our health. Thank youu
    *Cause i find it really unconvenient if i froze it, like... I need to wait it defrost and it takes so much time. That's why i never froze it 🥲🥲

    • @Chow-House
      @Chow-House  Рік тому

      You're welcome! I think it's ok to skip the freezing process but I think the freezing process just makes it last longer than 2-3 weeks in my experience. We freeze a lot of minced garlic at one time and just keep it in the freezer until we're ready to thaw and use another container. As always, use your gut and senses to see if something is safe to eat or not.

  • @christelting1359
    @christelting1359 2 роки тому +3

    The main factor is the freezing. The most botulism bacteria come from the soil and not air so when you freeze it it becomes sterile. When you open a container and put it in the fridge the other factors you mentioned come into play. I wonder how freezing in oil would compare... though I might just have portions of frozen chopped garlic and only add the oil when it goes into the fridge. Much of the time when you use garlic your cooking it in oil at the beginning of the recipe.

    • @Chow-House
      @Chow-House  Рік тому

      minced garlic, froze it, then put it in the fridge to defrost for use. i'm just saying the freezing process helps the garlic keep a fresher taste/texture while its sitting in the fridge to be used. no need to keep the garlic in the freezer the whole time.

      The shelf stable minced garlic in jars is usually packed with water and some type of preservative like citric acid.

      For ginger I recommend cutting ginger into chunks and freezing them. When you're ready to use the Ginger take it out of the freezer and immediately use a microplane or small grater to cut your ginger while it is still frozen.

      Yes, exactly. I think the freezing process before putting it in the fridge makes it last longer and makes the quality better than without freezing first.

    • @Chow-House

      At least 8 hours so it can fully freeze. I usually get about 3-4 containers when I buy this bag so I'll freeze all of them overnight and pull one out to keep in the fridge. The rest of the garlic stays in the freezer until i use up my fridge container. Hope that helps!

    I buy the 3lb bag of garlic cloves at Costco, Christopher's brand I believe, and run it all through my salad shooter. I end up with a large mixing bowl full of what looks like cole slaw. I dry it very slowly in my dehydrators and then powder it as I need it. I call it Nuclear Garlic because it is about 20 times stronger than store-bought garlic powder without the cellulose to prevent clumping, which is an issue also due to the high oil content. I am getting ready to powder some more and am going to add a bit of cornmeal to it to see if that helps. Any ideas? I will do half of the next bag with the freezing method. Thanks so much.

      I know potato starch is also used as an anti clumping agent for shredded cheese. For garlic powder, I'm not sure though.

    So basically he’s just saying to don’t put anything in it just cut it and put it in the freezer. How long do you put in the freezer for and how long could you keep it in the fridge for? Do you need a re-put it back in the freezer after you use it every time.

    • @Chow-House
      @Chow-House  3 місяці тому

      Just freeze until it's frozen and in my experience stays good for 3+ months in the fridge after thawing. Don't need to put it back in the freezer.

      Oh that's interesting... When I buy the peeled garlic from Costco (Christopher Farms brand) I've never had this happen. I have done some research and apparently older garlic can turn this color when minced. Weird color but safe to eat apparently. Maybe try using another source of garlic?
