Tuesday’s Cup: Garlic Crush

Garlic wins over tastebuds
Garlic is in the same family as the onion. Chopping this ingredient doesn’t bring on tears like its larger relative. Old folklore has it warding off vampires. Smash it under a butcher knife to make it easier to unpeel and cut. A garlic press is another solution for handling this pungent ingredient.
Did you know that Gilroy, Calif., is home to the largest garlic festival in the United States?

  2. Does anyone know what is the best way to store garlic? Does keeping it in the fridge in anyway reduce its pungency and flavor?
