Varieties and preservation
Garlic is a plant from the onion family. It originates from Central Asia and is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world; the Egyptians were the first to cultivate it.
There are different types of garlic, and each variety needs different temperatures and preservation periods. Garlic types depend on its neck and its colour.
Our solution
Preservation in cooling rooms
It is really important to have a good cooling installation and correct storage to obtain a good product for consumption.
Inside the rooms garlic sprouts grow slowly, so it is very important not to break the cold chain. Once it is broken, the time available to sell the garlic depends on when it was taken out of the room: if taken out early, several weeks; if late, a few days.
Optimal conditions
-3 ºC and 70 % RHThese are the optimal conditions for garlic storage.
Air circulation
Correct air circulation throughout the room avoids humidity build-up, which would damage the product.
Pre-cooling
Abrupt temperature changes can damage the product, so pre-cooling before storage is recommended.
Cold chain
UnbrokenNot breaking it keeps sprouts growing slowly and extends the time available to sell the garlic.
