Garlic is a familiar spice that is almost indispensable in delicious daily dishes of families. Garlic contains many nutritional values that are very beneficial to human health. Below are the signs you should avoid when selecting garlic, as they are either of lower quality or do not last long.
1. Garlic cloves separate widely from the bulb
Garlic bulbs with widely separated cloves, tearing off even the outer protective skin, often catch the buyer’s eye because they reveal plump cloves and seem easy to peel. However, if you intend to store garlic for a long time, you should not choose this type. Without the protective outer layer, they are more prone to mold, oxidation, or sprouting.
Choose garlic bulbs where the cloves are still tightly connected and firmly attached to the stem, with a thick outer skin covering them. This will help limit exposure to harmful environmental factors, slow down oxidation, and extend their shelf life.
2. Soft garlic cloves
When buying garlic, it is important to feel each clove with your hands. Cloves that feel mushy when pressed are definitely spoiled. However, even if the cloves and the entire bulb feel soft, not firm, and do not feel solid in your hand, you should not buy them in large quantities. This type of garlic quickly becomes moldy, shrinks over time, and significantly loses quality.
