HOW TO SELECT FRESH GARLIC?

Garlic bulbs should be plump and compact with taut, unbroken skin. A heavy, firm bulb indicates that the garlic will be fresh and flavorful.

HOW TO STORE GARLIC?

Leaving the entire head of garlic whole and not breaking it apart is the best way to store fresh garlic. If kept this way, under the right conditions, the head will stay fresh for a few months. Store garlic at room temperature in a dry, dark place that has plenty of air circulation.
