Choosing & preparing garlic

How to choose

Pick firm, heavy heads with tight, papery skin and no green shoots or soft spots. Fresh garlic far outperforms jarred pre-minced, which tastes flat and slightly sour.

Prep & storage

Crush to release more of its pungent compounds, slice for a milder bite, or roast whole until jammy and sweet. Add minced garlic late and keep it moving — it burns and turns bitter in seconds.

Nutrition

Eaten in small amounts, but a source of allicin and other sulphur compounds linked to heart and immune benefits.

Classic flavour partners: olive oil, chilli, ginger, parsley, lemon, butter
