How Do I Freeze Fresh Garlic or Garlic Bulbs?
Proper storage of garlic prevents deadly botulism toxin from growing and keeps your bulbs fresh. Garlic's pH level ranges between 5.3 and 6.3, making it a low-acid vegetable, according to the University of California at Davis. Improper storage of garlic bulbs in warm, humid places increases the likelihood of botulism growth. Thwart this toxin by freezing your fresh garlic for up to nine months, whether in bulbs, chopped or in cloves.
