Not only are these peels rich in nutrients, but they also have amazing uses that can benefit your home and your health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, I’ll show you how you can use garlic peels effectively and give you some additional tips so you never throw them away again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Garlic peels (the amount will depend on how many peels you accumulate).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Water (enough to boil the shells).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Procedure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Collecting the peels<\/strong>: Every time you use garlic in your preparations, instead of throwing away the peels, store them in a clean jar. You can accumulate them for a week or until you have a significant amount.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Garlic peel infusion<\/strong>:\n
        \n
      • Place the garlic peels in a pot and cover with water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat, letting it simmer for about 10-15 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Turn off the heat and let the brew sit until it cools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Strain the liquid and store it in a clean, dry glass jar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Uses of garlic peels water<\/strong>:\n
          \n
        • Natural fertilizer<\/strong>: Water your plants with this infusion once a week to strengthen them and keep them healthy. Garlic is known for its antibacterial and antifungal properties, which can help protect your plants from pests and diseases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Hair strengthening<\/strong>: Use this infusion as a hair rinse after shampooing. Leave on for a few minutes before rinsing with warm water. This can help strengthen the scalp and prevent hair loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Surface cleaning<\/strong>: Garlic peel water can be an excellent natural cleaner for disinfecting surfaces in the kitchen, especially where you handle food.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Additional tips:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Storage<\/strong>: If you prepare a large amount of infusion, you can freeze it in ice cube trays and use a cube whenever you need it, either for watering plants or for hair rinsing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Flavoring<\/strong>: If the smell of garlic is too strong for you, add a few drops of lavender or lemon essential oil to the infusion before using it as a cleanser or hair rinse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Compostable fertilizer<\/strong>: The remaining garlic peels, once used in the infusion, can be added to the compost. They will help enrich your compost with additional nutrients.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Garlic peels, often underestimated, have great potential in our everyday lives. With these simple methods and tips, you can maximize its use and take advantage of all its benefits, just like our grandmothers did. Never throw them away again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
