Advantages of Purple-Skinned Garlic

Contains Compounds With Medicinal Properties
Much of garlic's therapeutic acclaim is down to an active compound called allicin. This sulphur-containing compound gives garlic its pungent smell and distinctive taste. Luckily for us cooks, the action of chopping or crushing stimulates the production of allicin. But it is thought that the application of heat may inhibit some of the perceived medicinal properties, making it best to add garlic late in the cooking process.

 

May Reduce The Risk Of Heart Attacks
Much research has focused on garlic's potential in reducing the risk of heart disease and helping to manage cholesterol levels. Several studies suggest that garlic makes platelets (the cells involved in blood clotting) less likely to clump together and accumulate on artery walls; this means garlic acts like an anticoagulant and by so doing reduces the risk of heart attacks.

 

Has Antimicrobial And Antifungal Properties
Garlic has a long history of use as an infection fighter against viruses, bacteria and fungi. It has been referred to as 'penicillin' to denote its antibacterial properties, once again attributed to the compound allicin. Some skin conditions, such as warts and insect bites, may also respond to garlic oil or a crushed raw garlic clove.

 

May Protect The Brain
Garlic contains protective compounds that may help protect against the cognitive decline associated with ageing. This may slow the progression of conditions such as Alzheimer's and dementia.

Characteristics and Composition of Purple-Skinned Garlic

Garlic contains more than 200 chemical compounds with multiple properties. It is 65% water, 28% carbohydrates, 2.3% organosulfur compounds, 2% proteins, 1.2% free amino-acids, and 1.5% fiber. It also contains fat-soluble vitamins (vitamin A, vitamin K, and vitamin E), water-soluble vitamins (vitamin C, B-complex vitamins: B1, B2, B3, B6, and B8), and minerals (Ca, Fe, Mg, P, K, Na, and Zn). Organosulfur compounds give garlic its characteristic taste and odor as well as its pharmacological properties.

 

Moreover, garlic has both non-volatile and volatile organosulfur compounds. Non-volatile precursor compounds of sulfur in garlic include γ-glutamyl-S-allyl-L-cysteine and its sulfoxide, known as alliin. Alliin is only present in intact garlic, being transformed into other compounds when the bulb is macerated or crushed. In contrast, volatile organosulfur compounds are generated during the processing of garlic products, being divided into three subgroups according to their chemical nature: (a) thiosulfinates, which result from the conversion of sulfoxides by enzymatic reaction when raw garlic is processed. (b) Volatile organosulfurs such as allicin (diallyl thiosulfinate), one of the most biologically active compounds, which is absent in intact garlic but produced by the reaction of alliin with the enzyme alliinase when the bulb is ground, crushed, or damaged.

 

Allicin is highly unstable and instantly decomposes into diallyl sulfide (DAS), diallyl disulfide (DADS), diallyl trisulfide (DATS), and/or sulfur dioxide (SO2), among other compounds. This subgroup also includes methyl allyl disulfide and methyl allyl trisulfide. (c) Water-soluble organosulfur compounds, generated during the aqueous or alcoholic extraction of garlic through the decomposition of γ-glutamyl-S-allyl-L-cysteine into S-allyl-L-cysteine (SAC).

 

Intact bulbs contain SAC and γ-glutamyl-S-allyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide, vapor-distilled oils contain volatile sulfide compounds (DADS, DATS, DAS), dry garlic powder is rich in alliin and DADS, and garlic macerates are rich in organosulfur compounds, ditiins, and E,Z-ajoenes. Finally, mashed and ethanol-soaked aged garlic extract (AGE) contains SAC and S-allyl-mercaptocysteine (SAMC) and has shown more biological properties in comparison to the aforementioned preparations.12–15 Multiple factors influence the bioactivity of garlic components, such as extraction, preparation, temperature or storage.

 

How to Store Whole Purple-Skinned Garlic

 

 

Heads of garlic should be kept intact to help them from drying out and stored in a cool, but not cold, and dry place with air circulation to avoid sprouting or mold. A whole bulb can last for months if properly stored.

 

What To Store Garlic In
The container in which garlic is stored in is far less important than where it's stored. The biggest thing to keep in mind is simply using something that allows for airflow and won't lock in moisture. While there are specific vessels designed for the task including ceramic and terra-cotta jars or hanging mesh bags, any bowl or basket are good options too. Garlic is often sold in mesh bags, so you can keep it in the original container as well.

 

Where To Store Bulbs
Due to the naturally warm temperatures and high humidity of the South, it can be tricky to find the right place to store garlic. While the fridge is ruled out for its low temperature, the best option is an unheated pantry or similar space. If the basement of your home isn't too humid, that works as well.
If stored on the countertop, try to place it away from windows as sunlight will also cause the garlic to sprout quicker.

 

Optimal Storage Temperature
The best temperature range for storing a head of garlic is between 56°F and 58°F, However, so long as you keep your garlic stored at a temperature no lower than 50°F and no higher than 66°F, you'll be in the ideal range for long-lasting garlic storage.
Storing garlic at lower temperatures can cause the allium to start sprouting, while higher temperatures can cause the garlic to dehydrate, both of which will cause the garlic to lose its flavor. recommends considering humidity levels when it comes to garlic storage and suggests finding a spot somewhere between 45 and 50 percent humidity.

 

How Long Can Whole Garlic Be Stored
The great thing about whole garlic is that, when stored properly, it can last for months, if not up to a year, depending on the variety. An unpeeled, whole head of garlic is typically good for approximately six months. Seek out small to medium bulbs for longer storage capabilities.
