Chef's clever trick to keep garlic fresh for six months - and it's not in the fridge With supermarket prices soaring, Brits are keeping a tighter grip on their wallets and paying closer attention to how they store their hard-bought groceries.
Now, a top chef has come forward with a nifty trick that could keep your garlic fresh for a staggering six months, potentially saving you a tidy sum over time.
Professional chef and food storage expert Jerry James Stone has spilled the beans on the optimal way to extend your garlic's freshness up to half a year, emphasizing that "while it is inexpensive, you want to make sure you get the most out of your money.".
To put it into perspective, a single garlic bulb at Sainsbury's might only set you back 24p, but buying one every week for six months can rack up to nearly £6.
Jerry advises that a whole bulb of garlic can last up to six months, provided the cloves remain intact.
