Storing garlic as indeed been a problem here in Vietnam, where it's very hot & humid. The only advantage we see in having them in the fridge is that they are exposed to daily view, which encourages us to use them in a timely fashion, especially when we see they begin to sprout. They do sprout quicker in the fridge than under the cabinet.
when you mentioned about the garlic *sprouting*.... this is also a good time to plant the actual clove thats sprouting.. and then you grow your own full garlics :) ive got 6 growing in a pot right now
@@curiousj1287 To be honest im not sure, but it would probably be too cold outside if your in your winter, maybe in a pot in direct light from a window inside could start them off. i saw the tip on a gardening show and thought id try it. dont plant them too close to each other, a good 6-8 inches apart was recommended. good luck. let me know how you go :)
Trust me Jerry, I have no problem using the whole bulb, when I cook. I started using fresh garlic, when I recently bought a Healthy Cooking Cookbook by Chef Gordon Ramsey. My favorite dish is a Salmon and Lentil beans salad recipe that requires on bulb of garlic. I use most of it for the dish and a small portion for the salad dressing. Thanks for the storage tip.😊
Hi Jerry, you mention throwing garlic if it sprouts. Yep, I agree with that, If you let it sprout above about a quarter inch from a clove, because it does tend to ‘suck out’ the garlic-ness if it gets longer. On the other hand, whilst I also recognise it is bitter, in my experience the bitterness comes from the sprout itself, at this short length, not from the garlic. So, When I come to use it I split it through the sprout and poke the sprout out from each side and toss that out. Then I find it to be about normal in use.
I am Sicilian and I love garlic. My mother used to store garlic in a wooden barrel along with onions and her pasta (spaghetti) was to kill for especially her meatballs from a recipe from the old country loaded with romano cheese. It is a shame that old cooking is lost to us.
Bought garlic for the first time a few days ago and it was at a buy two bundles promotion. So thankfully your video educated me on how to store it properly. Next is to check out if there is a video on storing ginger.
Garlic, and Onions, the very best way is to dehydrate it, and make a powder! Can't go wrong! You can freeze it but over long periods of time it does loose some favor, but the garlic is still good to eat. When frozen >This was a experiment i did 4 months ago. so i'am back to dehydrating garlic and onions
Thank you so very much for this video. So how to store it if I don't have a pantry and I opened the garlic already.. Will it not smell strong when you open the bulb? And I have no dark well ventilated spots 🤷🏻♀️
I've got a modern house, very well isolated and pretty warm. When you say: store it in a cool, dry, well ventilted & dark place my direction question is: where would that be? For now I'll try and see if I can somehow find a spot in my hallway. It's also pretty well isolated, hope that the moist coats in there don't ruin it.
@@jerryjamesstone Got one of those, but it is in the middle of my house, with only a wall between me and the other house. I'll probably create some kind of pantry in my hallway (which also contains the staircase, but fortunately cold air stays low).
Where do you store the garlic in your house? I am having a hard time thinking of a low light spot in my house that isn't a closet. Can you give me some ideas of actual places to store that meet your guidelines?
I bought a sack of garlic and my mom said I had to break all of the bulbs because of something Rachael Ray said. I knew it sounded stupid but I opened all of my garlic and the cloves are sitting in ziplock bags in my cupboard. There are a lot of cloves. How can I fix my fail? According to your video I probably only have a few days left. Should I freeze them?
Hi Jerry. I will be harvesting hard neck garlic in a couple of weeks here in Massachusetts. I would like to save enough large bulbs for re-planting this fall, however during the summer months I will not have anywhere near the right conditions that you mention. Do you have any suggestions on how I can create them. Thanks. Great channel. Jerry A.
omg so sorry i missed this. but garlic wont last more than 6 months fresh. you can do this ruclips.net/video/-BWWZO0O5KI/видео.html or ruclips.net/video/3_TZ8ddXjdk/видео.html
Ok, so I've been wanting to do a drink mixture of honey, ginger, garlic, and lemon. My wife does not like the smell of garlic. Thoughts on how to get around this? Meaning, how can I make my drink but lessen the garlic scent. She will not be trying the drink at all.
This video was about what CONDITIONS garlic likes to be stored in not how to STORE it. Didn't get the info the title promised. It would have been a lot more helpful to see how the storage looks like. For example do you hang it, in put it in a jar, idk what does it look like when stored, what kind of container etc.
I just put my garlic bulb in a little plastic dish and it sits in the corner of my kitchen counter. It's cool, dry and dark. I peel what I need then place it down in dish again..no lid.
6 months? Was it organic? Because I only had my garlic for about a month and it started turning brown and sprouting. I even had it in its own dry container away from heat and light.
What would happen if you grew your own garlic and wanted to use the biggest bulbs for the next season and just put them in the freezer for a couple of months?
lemme help you back: after opening a bulb take a minute to put what you dont use in a plastic container (air tight) and then you can store it in the fridge
@@jerryjamesstone If you are a BATMAN fan you'll remember my Grandmother, MADGE BLAKE, who played AUNT HARRIET on the original TV series in the 60s... Thank you for your great video!!!
Thank you so much for this great information. We got a LOT of garlic bulbs from the food bank, and now I know how to keep them while I process them. I've been breaking open some bulbs today and I've noticed some of them are brown and others even have a little pink going on. Can anyone tell me if this is a problem? Thanks so much.
please help me. I bought some fresh garlic two days ago, took off the skin part, put it in a Tupperware dish, pour some Apple- Cider vinegar in the bowl, and seal tight it. Two days later, their is a bluish-green tint on sides. Tell me what is going on. I'd put the in my cupboard.
I am having difficulty in my home with garlic, I L O V E garlic, so I guess that means I also love Jerry, Storing it in a Cabinet in my home, the garlic started to turn brown, which I learned is bad, and needs to be thrown away (this would happen in a week/2) Then I started to take them out of the bulb and store in a glass open jar. And now like you said they are sprouting. I am about to do a water fast, and wanted to freeze them or something so I will not waste them...but not sure what to do. Any suggestions? Also what is wrong with my house, it is not warm, or humid. (I don't like those things either!) I do store onions in my cabinet, i did wonder if that messed with the garlic, based on another video of yours I watched about how diff vegetables affect each other? (sorry about the book I just wrote on your page!)
It isn’t cheap anymore. Especially Organic. I live in up to 100% humidity so I think I am have to peel add white vinegar to the jar and refrigerate mine. Six years ago when I moved here I had straight hair. Now I have long ringlets an hour after I straighten my hair. Which would be great if I was six years old. 👀
So don't cover them up - don't put them in a drawer - but it needs to be dark, airy and cool? Cool and airy I can do.... but dark without covering them up or putting them in a bowl in the cupboard? Not so sure about that.
Please do not attempt to do so, oxygen free environment encourage the growth of bacteria risk of botulism is present. in order to do so you must first adjust garlic acidity and/or keep it frozen.

Just harvested my garlic, fresh and green stalks. Is it OK to cut the stalks for cooking and store the bulb separately?
Should be
Is it ok to peel the outer paper layers off the garlic to expose the cloves, but leave each clove attached with its paper layers still on?
once you do it will start to go bad
@@jerryjamesstone thank you...good to know👍
I've started eating a fresh clove every day to go with my OMAD and IF lifestyle

Yes, if your garlic has been peeled and it is just the cloves, put them in the freezer.
If the garlic sprouts, break apart the sections, plant in in your garden or even a pot of dirt on your window sill.
sure if you have time for that
Should you put a lid on it or store in a container with no lid?
no lid
I read somewhere that the sprouts are way more nutritious than the bulb is and don't trow them away, eat it!
you can eat them but they are super bitter
Thank You for the video
No worries!
Thanks for the info! I really hate heat and humidity, too.
