The Easiest Way to Peel Garlic

You’ve probably seen lots of tips for peeling garlic. But this one, shared by a farmer on social media, is simple, fast, and really works.

The woman, who owns a garlic farm in Michigan, said that while many tricks exist, most are either messy or too complicated. Her method? Just use your microwave.

She used a tough variety called “Georgia Fire” to show how easy her trick is. “First, pop the whole head of garlic into the microwave for about 15 to 20 seconds,” she explained. After microwaving, she let it cool for a moment.

Then came the magic part. She gently pressed the cloves, and they slid right out of their skins. “It just pops right outת couldn’t be simpler,” she smiled.

The video quickly went viral, with tons of people thanking her. “This is one of the best tips I’ve ever tried,” wrote one user. “I microwaved mine for 30 seconds, and the skin came off so easily. Thank you!”

Simple, clean, and no more garlic smell on your handsת definitely worth a try.
