Throw it out. Life is too short for old dried out garlic.

Just chunk it... It's not worth the effort at this point.

Garlic is cheap, and there is no substitute for fresh garlic. ;-)
If you are worried about preservation, just use garlic powder!

Right move. What I can't figure out is how it lasted long enough to
require the thought of freezing! ;-)

No..Steve...I never buy small heads of Garlic myself...I always buy ones
with large cloves in it..I also usually buy it by the 1/2 to 1 Kg
quantity...Cheap enough to throw away if it starts to dry out...there
usually are about 10-12 heads to the Kilo...working it out again I suppose I
would pay between 15-20c each....But definately not small ones....

Eat them faster... and keep them at 40 degrees? :-)

Sorry Steve I missed this post....I don't usually have them long enough to
sprout...But when they do (if it has only just begun)...I just cut off the
new sprouting and use them anyway...This usually happens at the 'End' of my
supply and I have no more left...I will then use it if I want it 'Bad'
enough..<g>....
