away with without sacrificing quality (and you
should be too!). Peeled garlic can be stored in
a sealed container in the refrigerator for
several weeks.- Prechopped garlic, garlic paste, garlic juice,
and other convenience products of their ilk
should be roundly rejected by anyone with
half a shred of good taste. Just as with onions,
the aromatic compounds in garlic are formed
through an enzymatic chemical reaction that
occurs as soon as its cells are ruptured. So, to
maximize garlic flavor, you need to cut it just
before incorporating it into a dish. Precut
garlic has none of the complexity and
freshness of whole garlic cloves. - Garlic powder is garlic that has been
dehydrated and granulated. It is not a viable
substitute for fresh garlic, though sprinkled on
pizza or incorporated into a barbecue-style
rub, it adds a unique flavor all its own.
