Like, why would you need to preserve garlic? Would it last just and long ground up in a powder? There's not enough calories in garlic to consume it as a subsistence. Maybe it all started from a passive-aggressive woman who wanted to make her husband smell stinky farts all winter long. Trust a woman to do that, original sin and all.

Heck, it's no wonder I'm gay.

Ground garlic lasts for a very long time. Some people like the taste of pickled garlic.

Let me answer your question with another question - why would you preserve Cucumbers, Cabbage, Daikon or any other thing? Vinegar just makes shit taste better.

Seriously though. Garlic can go bad if you just leave it laying around too long. It doesn't have any preservatives.

To make garlic into a powder, you have to dry it out first, either by roasting it for a while in 150F oven or by using a food dehydrator. This makes the garlic far more processed, and lessens it's impact. (A meatloaf tastes loads better with fresh or pickled garlic, as opposed to garlic powder.)

Yes, I cook. Come at me, bruh. :x

Pickles are of the devil. They should all bury their own graves and die.

But ground garlic isn't the same as having the whole clove available for cooking. Also true "pickled garlic" isn't just a vinegar brine. It's fermented with a salt brine and will allow the garlic to last well into the winter. A vinegar brine garlic doesn't have much shelf life compared to something fermented in salt and has no function other than taste.

You would pickle the garlic in the old days to last the long travel as its shipped to places around the world. But humans love fermented foods, so we still make it even after the refrigerator was invented. Before the days of the fridge humans would ferment pretty much everything in salt brine to last the winter, from meats to veggies.
