1. Check the head of the garlic bulb
To determine which garlic is old, glance at the bulb’s head when selecting garlic.
Examine the garlic bulb’s head while purchasing garlic. The garlic plant’s upper branches and leaves are cut off during harvesting, leaving only the bulb. If there are numerous layers of skin inside and no holes, the garlic is still young and was picked too soon; it will not taste as good as older garlic.
2. Look at the garlic roots
A few roots are typically still present in delicious garlic bulbs. The garlic retains moisture better when the roots are left in place. When all of the garlic’s roots are cut off, the water in the garlic rapidly evaporates, allowing it to easily shrink and soften.
3. Look at the garlic skin
When buying garlic, you should check the skin carefully. Not all garlic is whiter, the more delicious. You can choose garlic with a slightly purple or completely purple skin.
