Yes, you can mince your own garlic and store it in a jar in the fridge! It’s a great way to have fresh garlic on hand for cooking. However, it’s best to store it in a liquid, such as olive oil, to help preserve its flavor and texture. Just make sure the minced garlic is fully submerged in the oil.
As for shelf life, minced garlic stored in oil can last about a week in the fridge. If you’re storing it without oil, it may only last about 3 to 5 days. Always check for any signs of spoilage, such as off smells or mold, before using. For longer storage, consider freezing the minced garlic in ice cube trays and transferring it to a freezer-safe container once frozen. This way, you can use it as needed!
