The Power of Garlic: Health Benefits and Storage Tips
Storing raw, peeled garlic in oil can be dangerous due to the risk of botulism. However, minced garlic can be safely preserved in oil by poaching it in a saucepan for about an hour to kill off bacteria. The oil-drenched garlic can then be stored in the refrigerator for up to a month, providing a longer shelf life compared to fresh minced garlic.
