Tips for Buying Garlic

Hi, Christi Ferretti with Expert Village. Now, the Ferretti part should have given you a tip that garlic was probably in my diet from before I was born. Its one of my favorite things, it probably goes into everything, other than fruit salad. But when picking garlic, my number one tip is stay away from those minced, jarred, canned garlic. The flavor is not at all what it is supposed to be. The best thing, if you've never used it is a fresh bulb of garlic. Unadulterated. And this is what it looks like, it?s going to be firm, it?s going to have this kind of papery white stuff that goes up over the whole thing and its going to come together at the tip. If this garlic were old, which thankfully it?s not, it would have chutes coming out of it. Which indicates that it?s going to be older, it?s going to be drier, it?s going to have very little to no flavor. You should be able to take this clove or this bulb of garlic and crack it or pull some of these leaves of paper away. And see this actually; this one is so fresh it?s kind of hard to get into here. But pull it away, and what you see inside are these really nice cloves. Sealed at the bottom, no dark pieces on it, no dry cracks. This is going to give you the best flavor in any recipe you use it in.
