Avoiding Bad Breath: Which Vegetables to Avoid with Fresh Garlic and a Doctor's Simple Hack

Garlic can last up to six months when stored properly, but it should be kept away from ethylene-producing vegetables and fruits like tomatoes, potatoes, apples, and grapes. Bulbs should be stored in a dry, cool cupboard in a container that allows for airflow, while peeled or minced garlic should be kept in the fridge. If needed, cover ethylene-producing foods in plastic wrap or store them in a separate drawer. Garlic can also be pureed and frozen for up to three months.
