To get maximum nutritional benefits and flavour, always buy fresh garlic and avoid the ones where the skin is broken. Store fresh garlic in either an uncovered or a loosely covered container in a cool, dark place away from exposure to heat and sunlight. This will help maintain its maximum freshness and help prevent sprouting, which reduces its flavour and causes excess waste. It is not necessary to refrigerate garlic. Some people freeze peeled garlic; however, this process reduces its flavour profile and changes its texture.
