how to store your garlic to last
Optimal Storage Conditions
Aim to keep bulbs between 56 and 58F. Less than 50 F, your garlic is likely to sprout. Don’t be tempted to store garlic in your fridge! Above 66 F, your garlic will quickly shrivel.
The ideal relative humidity for your garlic is 45 to 50%. Good circulation prevents air from stagnating and mold from developing on your garlic. If you have lower humidity, air circulation will cause less heartache. An unheated pantry or garage is often ideal. Basements often have the optimal temperature, but their humidity can be too high.
What to Store Your Garlic In
Short term, storing your garlic in paper bags will do the trick. If you’ll eat all your garlic before the New Year, this is a perfect plan.
For the long winter ahead, plastic mesh bags will serve you best. Especially if you have an abundance of garlic and are committed to enjoying it well into spring (if not summer), the additional airflow from the mesh will be your greatest ally.
