Does lemon juice preserve fresh garlic?

Lemon juice can help preserve fresh garlic to some extent due to its acidity, which inhibits the growth of bacteria and molds. However, it does not fully prevent spoilage, and garlic stored in lemon juice should be kept in the refrigerator and used within a few weeks. For longer preservation, consider methods like freezing or dehydrating garlic. Always ensure proper storage to maintain safety and quality.
