I could not agree more. 9 out of 10 times I have to dig and dig through the garlic bin at the store just to find one head that is not molding or falling apart or rotten already. That drives me crazy.Personally, I think a lot of the garlic we see in the stores is pretty crappy even before you get it home.
Same here, like this from Amazon.com:We keep garlic in unpeeled head form in a well ventilated terra cotta container at room temperature.
