Not to mention the fact that garlic is essential to add flavor to any recipe.

How do you

1.  Prepare a pot filled with seedling soil, preferably a pot with drainage.

2. Choose very fresh garlic cloves.

3. Separate the pods, being careful not to damage their base.

4. Bury each pod, placing the pointed side up under a few inches of potting soil.

5. Separate them about 10 cm.

6. Keep the potting soil moist but never soggy as garlic doesn’t need a lot of water.

7. Let the garlic rise a bit, but remember to trim the flowers regularly to keep all the flavor in the onion.

8. Once your plant has 5-6 leaves that are turning yellow and starting to die, the garlic is ready to be harvested.

9. Let the garlic dry in a cool, dry place like a garage for a week.

And let’s go! You just grew garlic at home. You don’t even have to buy it anymore! Easy, isn’t it? Know that the best time to plant garlic is early spring or fall.

Garlic takes about 8-10 months to grow. Don’t throw away the small green garlic stalks. They are eaten like chives, or to flavor a soup or cottage cheese, for example.

After harvesting, store garlic in a cool, dry place.
