Also remember that a single bulb of garlic usually contains between ten and twenty individual cloves of garlic. The individual cloves are covered with a fine pinkish/purple skin, and the head of cloves is then covered with white papery outer skin.
When selecting garlic, it should be big, plump and firm, tight silkyskins with its paper-like covering intact, not spongy, soft, orshriveled. Why buy small ones that are a pain to peel? As with all ingredients for cooking, buy the best garlic you can afford. Fresh garlic is readily available year round. Garlic is available in forms other than fresh, such as powder, flakes, oil, and puree.
