FAQs
What is the best way to store my garlic?
Store your garlic in a cool and dry place, such as in a mesh/burlap bag or loosely woven basket. Do not store your whole garlic bulbs in plastic bags of any kind. It prevents air circulation and also traps the natural moisture of the garlic, which accelerates spoilage. Most garlic stores well at room temperature, with the ideal temperature around 60 to 65 F. Keep your bulbs whole.
Never store garlic in a refrigerator as it will begin to sprout quickly within days of being brought to room temperature. If you decide to store your garlic in the refrigerator, keep it in the main part of your fridge until you are ready to use it.
How would you recommend roasting garlic in the oven?
Roasting garlic in the oven is a wonderful way to enjoy it and roasted garlic can be stored in the freezer indefinitely.
To roast garlic bulbs, lightly grease a casserole dish with olive oil, chuck in some clean bulbs, and bake at 350 degrees until the bulbs are soft and squishy — usually about 45 minutes. Snip the tips off the bulbs and cloves and squeeze out the tasty, and now soft, flesh. Freeze the garlic in an airtight freezer container- it will last about a week in the fridge. The high oil content means it never freezes hard, and you can scoop the clove contents out with a spoon as needed.
