How To Store Garlic

2021-01-26

Whether you've grown your own or simply bought too much at the grocery store, here's how to store your supply to make it last the longest.

When you're shopping for produce, avoid any bulbs that appear soft or damaged, or have started sprouting. (If it was a wet spring and summer, the cloves may start to grow right away and split the bulb apart even before harvest). Look for undamaged cloves for long-term storage.

The easiest way to store garlic at home is in mesh bags or loosely woven baskets. Garlic with flexible tops can be made into pretty braids to hang. But garlic with a stiff central stalk - often called hardneck garlic - will shatter if you try to braid it.

Garlic keeps longest when stored at 60 to 65 degrees and in moderate humidity. This is what makes storing Fresh Garlic throughout the winter so hard: Heated winter homes tend to be very, very dry - so dry that garlic cloves will shrivel up and turn rock-like inside their papery skins after just a month or two. (If that ever happens to yours, just toss 'em, skins and all, into your next batch of vegetable stock).
