1. Storing Whole Garlic Heads: Preserve Quality and Flavor When it comes to whole garlic heads, the key is to keep the bulb intact for as long as possible. Follow these tips for optimal storage:
Location Matters: Choose a cool, dry, and dark place for your garlic. Ideally, a temperature between 60° and 65° is optimal, but your pantry can serve as a safe spot. Ensure decent ventilation to prevent moisture buildup.
Avoid Sealing: Opt for paper or mesh materials if you choose to bag up your garlic. Plastic can trap moisture and compromise freshness.

2. Storing Peeled Garlic: Refrigeration for Prolonged Freshness For peeled garlic, refrigeration is the key to maintaining freshness. Here’s what you need to know:
Airtight Containers: Seal peeled garlic in an airtight container or zip-top bag to prevent it from absorbing odors from the fridge.
Refrigeration Timeframe: While peeled garlic may start losing pungency after a few days, it remains usable for about a week in the refrigerator.
