So, back to the fridge question: do you keep garlic in the fridge? Some people swear by storing it in the fridge, claiming it helps keep the garlic fresh for longer. Others argue that the fridge is too humid, and can actually cause the garlic to spoil faster. It's like trying to decide whether to keep your plants in the sun or the shade - both options have their pros and cons.
But, here's the thing: garlic is a bit of a diva, and it doesn't like to be stored in direct sunlight or in areas with high humidity. It's like it's saying, "Hey, I'm a delicate flower, treat me with care!" So, if you do decide to store your garlic in the fridge, make sure you store it in a breathable container, like a paper bag or a mesh bag, to keep it fresh.
On the other hand, if you don't have space in your fridge, or if you're one of those people who likes to keep their garlic out on the counter, you can also store it in a cool, dark place. It's like a little garlic cave, where it can hang out and stay fresh for weeks. Just make sure it's not too close to your onions, or they might start to influence each other - you know, like when you hang out with your friends and start to pick up their habits.
