I've used the refrigerated peeled chopped (minced) garlic in a jar. I
can't speak to your impaired tastebuds but to me it tastes like, well,
garlic. I mostly use it when something calls for just a clove or two.

For me the convenience of the jarred garlic is the main factor. I don't
use garlic in every little thing so unless I have something specific in
mind, heads of garlic sometimes dry up before I get around to using
them. I like having the jarred garlic on hand. Hope this helps.

I've used the minced often. Convenient and acceptable, though not as
good as fresh chopped.

I just bought a bag of peeled garlic cloves from a Korean market. It was on sale for $1.99/lb. It won't keep for very long in the refrigerator. It would probably be a good idea to freeze half of the bag or put it in a jar of oil. This stuff will be fine taste-wise.

Pre-peeled and/or pre-cut garlic is pathetic.

Put it in a tightly closing container, not too tightly packed - it will
keep in the refrigerator several weeks. I peel several bulbs in one session
and do that.

> It would probably be a good idea to freeze half of the bag

Never! That's an awful idea! It will taste - not good at all.

> or put it in a jar of oil. This stuff will be fine taste-wise.

Careful; that may spoil dangerously. Keep it in the fridge.

Better pickle it with shoyu and sugar (4-1): boil that mixture for about
10 minutes, let it cool and cover the garlic with it.
But first soak the garlic in vinegar-water for at least one week to kill
dangerous bacteria.
Ideal for young unpeeled garlic-bulbs, too. Let it stand for several
weeks (5 at least), it will keep for years, unrefrigerated.

I sometimes buy the peeled garlic cloves that are in a bag in the produce
department. I freeze them and take out a clove when I need it. I don't
always do that of course, but I find that it works well in a pinch. I have
also used chopped garlic in the jar and keep one in the fridge. I like it
fine too.

I'd also be interested to hear who, among the users of prepared
garlic, use it raw. I imagine that it's suitable only for cooking,
so I've been unwilling to try it. About half of the garlic that
I use is consumed raw.

I doubt many do use it raw but I'll be interested to hear the answers.
Personally I can't picture using it unless for cooking. Then again, I
don't eat raw garlic.

Just this past Friday I bought a bag of pealed garlic at Kroger. Within
the bag are individual portions of vacuumed sealed, pealed garlic gloves.
It appears to be about 4 or 5 in each vacuumed bag. I haven't used any
yet but plan on it later in the week or perhaps next week.

I'm thinking the individual sealed portions will stay fresher longer.
Maybe, maybe not.

YES! Garlic in oil is better than no garlic, but NOT an adequate substitute for the real thing in garlic intensive dishes like Majical Garlic Potatoes, etc.

About the same time I watched episode three of Rotten, on Netflix. It's
called Garlic Breath and is about the multi-Billion dollar garlic
industry and how China is using it's huge Harmony Garlic company, along
with Chinese prison inmates peeling garlic (they use their teeth) to
destroy the US garlic industry.

I'll peel my own, thank you.

To you. That's OK that you say it is not good at all.
To me it does,it freezes well and keeps it's taste-and that's true.

Two or three years ago, when Chris Kimble was still hosting America's
Test, someone had wrote in about frozen garlic. Chris had stated
those little squares you can buy in your supermarkets frozen section
were great. He said herbs were also packaged like that and they looked
to me like small ice cubes. So, I don't know why you couldn't chop
and freeze your own.

"those things?"

When I am doing a meal or other prep that requires a lot of garlic, I
often will buy the 1/2 lb cello-wrapped containers of peeled garlic
cloves that the Thai grocery sells. Saves quite a bit of time and
mess, though there is usually quite a bit left over. That I slice
very thin, slowly fry in a little butter, and allow to dry before
freezeing. It makes a nice addition to a topping for broiled or
grilled fish.

The minced is terrific for garlic bread. I have also used it for
scampi.

The minced usually comes in water or sometimes in oil. Go for
water-packed.

No reason that I know, it's convenient sometimes, I just freeze the cloves
whole and pull a couple out when needed.

I know, but I've never done that and I'm not going to start now.
Anyway, it wasn't important at all

I'll grow my own, too. Much better than the desiccated Chinese product.
Even California garlic isn't as good. It's probably like tomatoes: big
growers optimize for everything but taste.

I loathe peeling and chopping garlic and having seen it suggested here
(can't remember by whom) I chopped up about four heads of garlic at
one time. I also used the food processor to chop. I stored it in the
freezer, in a plastic bag and it was great to cut off a bit when I
needed a little garlic. I have continued doing that.

I'd like to, but am not in a geologic position to.

I usta buy purple garlic, when I lived in CA. Here in CO, only see
white garlic fer sale.

I also usta buy "peeled" garlic from the Mexican fruit stand jes around
the corner from where I usta live. The "mamasitas" would peel it by
hand and sell it in little bags fer $1USD. I had "peeled" garlic
anytime I needed it, as the fruitstand was jes around the corner.
Peeled garlic would last abu0t a week in my fridge.

And there are enough hard and soft neck varieties out there that one
can have truly varied additions to the kitchen. I am also very pleased
with scapes from the hardnecks.

The bed I use for garlic is one I rotate quite a bit. Wildflowers this
year.

no, when i have extra garlic i grind it with the meat
grinder, drench it with lemon juice and freeze it in
small containers. when i grew several hundred garlic
bulbs (of many cloves each) and had extra garlic i was
weeding from a garden out back i would have plenty
still left by late winter which would be starting to
sprout (if kept dark and cool it doesn't sprout as
easily). i like the bits of green in it at this
stage.

you could probably use lime, orange or any other acid
like vinegars. probably also sugar or salt.

i've also pickled ground garlic and made relishes or
bbq sauce type bases from it keeps that ways for a few
years at least.

i no longer grow as much garlic and so am not having
to grind and freeze or put up garlic as much.

If you are growing your own, you have dozens of varieties to choose
from to plant. Just like tomatoes or anything else grown at home,
they will differ from what you get at the store. Farming has a whole
different set of problems.

Don't care. I don't consider bleach to be particularly harmful.
