Robbie’s Produce Tips: Local Colossal Garlic
Select garlic that’s heavy for its size (older garlic will dry up and feel light).- You’ll want garlic that’s firm so go ahead and give it a squeeze when you’re in the store.
- Older garlic will have indentations or yield to pressure.
- Make sure your garlic isn’t sprouting. I always look at the neck of it to make sure green sprouts aren’t coming through.
