Laba garlic is pickled with vinegar. The color of the finished product is green and the taste is slightly sour and spicy. Lunar December, the custom is called the twelfth month. The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, commonly known as Laba, is the Laba Festival in China. As the name suggests, "Laba garlic" is to make garlic on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Peel the garlic, put it into a small jar, immerse it in vinegar and seal it tightly. When it is unsealed on New Year's Eve, the garlic is green and green, the spicy flavor is removed, and the flavor of vinegar also adds a lot of garlic flavor.
