It's a common problem: you buy a bunch of garlic, use a few cloves, and then forget about the rest until they're haunting your fridge like a ghostly aroma. But don't worry, it's not a garlic graveyard just yet! With proper storage, garlic can last for several months.
In the fridge, garlic can last for 3 to 6 months if stored properly. Yes, you read that right – months! It's like garlic is the Everest of pantry staples: it's a challenge to climb, but the view from the top is breathtaking (or should I say, pungent?). To make it last, store garlic in a breathable container, like a paper bag or a mesh bag, to keep it dry and cool.
But, beware of the garlic's arch-nemesis: moisture! If garlic is exposed to too much moisture, it can sprout or become moldy. It's like garlic is playing a game of survival in your fridge, and moisture is the big bad wolf trying to blow its house down. So, keep it away from the high-moisture zones in your fridge, like the crisper drawers.
