I bought a large bag of peeled garlic cloves at my local Costco and thought I would be real smart and vacuum seal most of it for future use. I sealed up three bags of the cloves using my Food Saver and held a small portion in reserve for immediate use.
With the bags of garlic sealed nice and tight, I put them on a bottom shelf of my fridge for a long winter's nap. After about one week of resting, my wife asked me why I was storing balloons of garlic in the fridge. I guess garlic is one of those strange elements that can sustain itself in an oxygen free environment by creating it's own atmosphere.
My question to you more wise and experienced forum members is how do you store and preserve peeled garlic without freezing or adding Beno to the bag? Answer appreciated ASAP before bag explodes.
