Whether you're at Costco or the neighborhood market, just say no to pre-peeled garlic.
No one likes the tedious task of prying papery skin off a tiny clove of garlic — but it's a labor of love and the only way to get fresh garlic flavor into your food. Pre-peeled cloves tend to be dried out, woody, and lacking flavor.
Plus this 3-pound pouch of garlic is only going to degrade in flavor and attract bacteria after it's been opened.
And, for the sake of your family and friends, don't put that kind of pressure on yourself to finish the bag before it goes bad.
