Storage Tips
- Garlic bulbs should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark place for quite a few months.
- Do not store bulbs in the refrigerator.
Culinary Tips
- One medium clove of garlic is equal to 1 teaspoon of minced garlic.
- Roasting garlic produces a mellower flavor. Cut of tops of garlic bulbs to expose the cloves, brush with olive oil and bake for 1 hour at 350°. Squeeze garlic out of the skins and spread on a good bread.
- For garlic butter use ½ cup of softened butter mashed with four minced cloves of garlic.
- Sauté garlic only until translucent as it will burn quickly and produce a bitter flavor.
