Tasty Tip Tuesday

Today's tasty tip is all about garlic. We are a garlic loving family. I put it in a lot of dishes even those where the original recipe did not call for it. The smell, the taste, and the flavor garlic brings to a dish is unbelievable. Below are some great tips if you are a garlic lover like me.

Garlic Tips:

1. Garlic is available year-round, but it's peak months are June and July
2. Your garlic has seen better days when the cloves start to shrivel and soften, and dark spots appear.
3. To get the best garlic look for bulbs with fat cloves.
4. Ideal storage is in an open container in a cool place, not the fridge, this encourages sprouting.

Speaking of Sprouting...

Did you know you can still eat cloves that have sprouting on them? To do so make sure
the clove itself is firm and crisp, and you will want to be sure and remove all the sprouting and discard.
