How to Store Garlic for Eating
Store garlic uncovered e.g. in a wire-mesh basket inside your cupboard or beneath a small overturned clay pot, is ideal. You can also store garlic in a paper bag or mesh bag. Make sure there is plenty of dry air and no light to inhibit sprouting. Always watch the bulbs to see if they are starting to get soft and if they are, use right away.
Long Term Storage Temperatures for Garlic
Do not store garlic in plastic bags as it creates molds. Garlic needs to breathe. Garlic stores best long term when it is stored at between 2ºC (35F) and 13ºC (55F) and between 40% to 60% humidity. An air-conditioned house or basement seems to do well. Once the garlic is cured, do not allow air to blow on the bulbs. It dehydrates the bulbs and dry them out. Do not have a dehumidifier around the garlic either after the garlic has cured as it will also dry the bulbs and decrease storage life.
