Garlic has many health benefits!
It would be a shame not to eat it every day.
The problem is that you should avoid choosing sprouted, expired or rotten garlic!
So how do you know if the garlic you buy is still good?
Fortunately, there is a simple and effective trick for choosing the right head of garlic every time.
The trick is to carefully check the color and shape of the bulb . Watch:
1. The bulbs should be firm and still puffy.
2. Their color should be bright white.
3. The skin must be very clean.
4. If the garlic is soft, with a greyish or even black color, move on.
5. If the bulb has sprouted, it's not good either.
And There you go ! You now know how to choose the right head of garlic :-)
Easy, fast and useful, right?
No more buying expired garlic cloves that no longer have any taste or nutritional value.
You will be able to cook it with all the sauces and greatly improve your recipes!
Know that garlic can have several colors. It can be white, pink or even purple.
How to choose fresh garlic or new garlic (aillet)?
To choose fresh garlic, you have to look at it in detail.
Stems should be nice green and still brittle and crisp.
Withered leaves should be avoided.
As for the head of the garlic, it must be very firm and smooth.
Garlic is a young shoot of garlic whose cloves have not yet formed. Its taste is a little less pronounced.
It is excellent for cooking pesto or garlic cream for example.
And since nothing goes to waste, you can even use its green stems as fine herbs in a salad or an omelet.
