Comment on Organic Peeled Garlic by christopherranch

Hi Les: Yes, you can freeze peeled cloves but they may turn mushy when thawed. Most of the flavor remains, but you won’t have chunks of garlic. If the bag has been opened, make sure you get all the air out of the bag and seal it completely before freezing. Best to double bag it also to keep the “aroma” from traveling. It should be good for 3 to 6 months in the freezer. Freezing in an air tight container, zip lock bag or vacuum sealed bag are also good options. If you decide not to freeze it, make sure you keep it constantly refrigerated at fairly cold temperatures, (34º to 38º is best). FYI: Our favorite suggestion is to share your garlic with family or friends. Peeled garlic stores well in a zip lock bag as long as it’s constantly refrigerated.

Hi Andy: Ask the produce mgr. to order our shallots if they don’t already. Garlic and shallots are wonderful together and your recipe sounds great! Thanks for your support!

My wife and kids and I all like the flavor garlic adds to almost anything from
meat to omelets and vegetarian soups. I was very pleased to discover your
garlic at a local grocery store here in western NC. It is definitely better than
the other garlic (mostly imports from China or Mexico) available around here
in the off season. Starting with Italian garlic seed was a great idea; Italy is a
garlic lover’s paradise. I noticed on your web site that you also grow shallots.
I’m going to see if the same store where I get your garlic has your shallots.
I like to put some minced garlic and minced shallots sauted in real butter in
cheese omelets.

We just tried this product last night in a cream sauce and loved it. I was wondering can I freeze it in the individually wrapped pouches.

Hi John: NO, we don’t irradiate any of our garlic.
