This delicacy has a rich history – many housewives in the past preserved garlic shoots in this way as an ingredient for soups, sauces, meats, or spreads. Their \u003cstrong\u003edelicate, less pungent garlic flavor\u003c\/strong\u003e was a pleasant alternative to strong garlic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe were particularly attracted to this \u003cstrong\u003eingredient\u003c\/strong\u003e because \u003cstrong\u003emost farmers\u003c\/strong\u003e consider young shoots to be \u003cstrong\u003ewaste\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is left in the field during the spring trimming of the shoots. However, they are a tasty and juicy ingredient that can be wonderfully utilized.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the sticks are made\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe production of garlic sticks begins when farmers bring us freshly cut shoots. (1, 2) However, they are quite \u003cstrong\u003eawkward\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003etwisted\u003c\/strong\u003e, which complicates their processing.

This is the most demanding part of the entire process. The team works with scissors, and each shoot must be individually adjusted (4) to the correct length. This year we first \u003cstrong\u003etried a new technique\u003c\/strong\u003e for bulk processing of the shoots, which worked, but ultimately did not speed up the process as we expected. The shoots are too twisted, and handling them is still challenging.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe cut pieces of shoots are then \u003cstrong\u003epacked into jars\u003c\/strong\u003e (5), exactly to the desired weight, and then \u003cstrong\u003ecovered with the prepared brine\u003c\/strong\u003e. (6) After sealing the jar, they undergo pasteurization and are labeled.
