Garlic soaked in pure vinegar in Laba Festival is also called Laba garlic.

In December of the lunar calendar, this custom is called the twelfth lunar month. The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, commonly known as Laba, is the Laba Festival which has become a common custom in China.

Pickling Laba garlic is a custom in northern China, especially in the north. As the name implies, garlic is brewed on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. To soak laba garlic, you have to use purple garlic and vinegar (it is said that purple garlic is crisp and fragrant, but now there are few purple garlic on the market, and ordinary garlic can also be used). Peel garlic cloves, put them in a small jar, soak them in vinegar and seal them. When the seal was opened on New Year's Eve, the garlic cloves were green, the spicy taste was removed a lot, and the vinegar taste was added with a lot of garlic. Garlic, chilli and acetic acid are mixed together, which is the best seasoning for jiaozi. It can also be served with cold dishes, which has a unique taste.

It is said that this Laba garlic still has some origins. The garlic word of Laba garlic is homophonic with the word "calculate", which has been closed in recent years. All firms have to calculate the income and expenditure of this year on this day, so it can be seen that profits and losses, including foreign debts and foreign debts, should be calculated on this day. However, with the coming of China New Year, people in China always talk about face and winning prizes. They can't go to other people's homes and shout "Pay off the debt". So the debt collectors will suck some Laba garlic and give it away. When the debtor receives it, it is naturally tacit: the debt for one year will be settled. "Garlic" and "suan" are homophones. There is an old saying in Beijing: "Laba porridge, Laba garlic, the messenger who pays the bill, the messenger who pays the debt." It is also a rare painstaking effort to use Laba garlic to collect debts.

In the daily diet, eat a little garlic in moderation when eating meat. This is because although animal meat, especially lean meat, is rich in vitamin b 1, vitamin b 1 stays in the body for a short time and will be excreted with a small amount of urine. If you eat more garlic while eating meat, the vitamin b 1 in meat can be combined with allicin in garlic, so that the content of vitamin b 1 is increased by 4-6 times, and the water solubility of vitamin b 1 becomes fat-soluble, thus prolonging the residence time of vitamin b 1 in human body.

Medical experts also found that eating meat and garlic can promote blood circulation, improve the absorption rate of vitamin b 1 in the gastrointestinal tract and the utilization rate in the body, which is of great significance for eliminating the fatigue of various organs of the body as soon as possible, enhancing physical fitness and preventing colorectal cancer. So eating meat and garlic can get twice the result with half the effort.

All of the above are the benefits of soaking garlic in vinegar. Since the benefits are few, it is ok to eat for a long time.
