can anyone tell me hows best to store garlic.i have tried everything.

In the dark but in a well ventilated container.

The containers that are made for storing them in (garlic safes) are usually made out of china and have air holes that are staggered in two walls so that the air can get in but the light is generally kept out.

In a dark cupboard in a well ventilated container is a good compromise.

But not hung up on a string in full view of the kitchen as is so often seen in the TV kitchen shots.

thanks for the tip on storing garlic its really helpful as i was throwing a lot away.
