Garlic
Garlic is a shortened stalk
with buds containing well
thickened food storage
organs (cloves). Two main
types of garlics can be
found in markets; garlic
imported from China
packaged in sleeves and
having a bright white color,
and garlic grown in Israel
and usually marketed
in the form of bundles
with leaves or in plastic
packaging with holes.
Usually Israeli grown
garlic is sharper and has
a stronger aroma.
Commercially, garlic
is stored at ambient
temperatures or at low
temperatures of 1-2°C,
but under relatively
drier and better
ventilated conditions
than those found in a
household refrigerator. At
home garlic can be stored
in a dry, warm place but
not in direct sunlight.
