Even if they are given for free, you shouldn’t take them
Garlic is a staple spice that enhances the flavor of countless family meals. It is packed with essential nutrients that provide numerous health benefits. However, not all garlic is of good quality or has a long shelf life. Here are some signs to watch for when selecting garlic to ensure you get the best ones:
1. Garlic cloves separate widely from the bulb
Garlic bulbs with cloves that are spaced far apart and have partially lost their protective outer skin may seem appealing because they appear plump and easy to peel. However, if you plan to store garlic for an extended period, avoid this type. Without the outer layer, the cloves are more susceptible to mold, oxidation, and sprouting.
For better longevity, choose bulbs with tightly packed cloves that remain firmly attached to the stem and are covered with thick, intact skin. This helps protect the garlic from environmental factors, slows oxidation, and extends its freshness.
