Garlic?

In my life, I have yet to buy a decent head of garlic. It's always too dried out, starting to rot, or starting to sprout. I end up buying the jars which people then knock me for Chat Icon

How the heck do you pick the prefer bulb?

The papery skin should be tight around the heads. Look for heads where the cloves are not separated or exposed away from the skin. I always chose heads that have a purple tint around the skin as well. I keep garlic in a small basket on my counter and it stays well for several weeks.

Yes tight paper on outside but also press the outside cloves. If soft don't buy. Only firm ones

I also buy the loose, individual tight bulbs and I try to make sure they're not a product of China.

The garlic from the supermarket is always terrible. I have had better luck at farmer's markets or Whole Foods.

Happens to my garlic too. However, I always have a bottle garlic as well and it works. It just faster and easier when I am in a rush to get dinner done.
