You can freeze garlic in several forms, including whole cloves, paste, or minced. Pre-portioning is recommended for easy use later.
Freezing garlic is an excellent way to preserve it and have it readily available for cooking. Here's how you can freeze garlic in different forms:
Freezing Garlic Cloves, Paste, and Minced Garlic
-
Garlic Cloves:
- You can freeze whole garlic cloves.
-
Garlic Paste:
- Garlic paste can be frozen flat in the freezer.
- Pre-portioning is recommended. Instead of freezing a whole block, divide the paste into smaller, usable portions.
-
Minced Garlic:
- Similar to garlic paste, minced garlic freezes well. It is also recommended to pre-portion.
By following these steps, you can effectively freeze garlic and maintain its flavor for future use.
