Freezing garlic

Luba B. (Q&A ID 2768)

Hello,

I was wondering if I could freeze garlic? I bought a lot of organic garlic in the summer and it doesn’t look like it will last all winter. It’s starting to get soft.

what would be the best way to store it?

Thank you for your help.

Hi Luba - Yes! You can definitely freeze garlic. Although you can freeze whole cloves, we've found it best to freeze minced or chopped garlic covered with a little bit of neutral oil to preserve their flavor and texture for the long haul. Best, Lynn C.
