How to cook pickled garlic

Garlic has a huge amount of useful substances, but, unfortunately, not all of its lovers can afford to enjoy this vegetable every day, since garlic has a pronounced taste, which is almost impossible to get rid of for several hours.

Garlic scares away not only diseases, but also those around you. Therefore, if you are sure that after consuming it, you will not need to communicate with a large number of people, then you can pamper yourself with a clove of fresh, hot garlic, otherwise, it is better to postpone this pleasure for an evening or a weekend.

But if you subject the garlic to heat treatment, then the essential oils, emitting terrible odors, evaporate and you can consume garlic as much as you like.

Pickled garlic is also a way out, for those who like to eat garlic during the day. Although it loses a number of its beneficial properties, it nevertheless retains its original taste. Moreover, the taste of pickled garlic can be enjoyed all year round, as it does not wither or dry out, unlike a fresh product.
