Hi girls, thanks for the good tips. One more tip for the cilantro storage.

Clean, wash and chop cilantro as soon as you bring from the shop. Store in ziplock bag in the freezer, and use whenever needed 🙂
It keeps the cilantro for longer.

In reply to jay. Hi Jay, If you peel the garlic yourself, you can blend it and freeze it in ice cube trays (1/2 or 1 Tbsp in each cube). After 6-8 hrs, transfer it to a freezer type zipper bag and store it in the freezer. The bulk peeled garlic is super convenient, but they usually soak the garlic in water to be able to peel it and it drastically reduces the shelf life. Also, the soaking process reduces the flavor so you end up using far more cloves to get the same result using fresh peeled garlic.

Any ideas how to store garlic.
I would love to buy the bag of peeled garlic from costco but not sure how i can extend its shelf life. After a few days it starts getting mouldy.

Having peeled garlic is so convenient however.

thanks
