Good quality garlic should consist of firm, plump bulbs with tightly closed cloves. Outside sheath or skin should be tight and unbroken. Avoid shriveled, soft, sprouting, or moldy bulbs.
Short-term storage recommendation (7 days or less)
- 60-65° F/16-18° C
- 90-98% relative humidity
Maintain adequate air circulation during storage. For extended storage (longer than 7 days), reduce humidity to 65-75%.
Exposing garlic to high temperatures and humidity may promote molding, sprouting, or root growth. If garlic is to be held for longer than 7 days, reduce humidity to 65-75%. Maintaining adequate air circulation will also help prevent molding, sprouting, and root growth.
- Simmer whole cloves of garlic with white beans and mushroom stock; when tender, purée and serve soup topped with browned mushrooms.
- Stuff lamb loin with cloves of garlic; roast and slice; serve with garlic-mashed potatoes.
