Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for cured, dry garlic bulbs in long-term commercial storage. Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Keep garlic dry with good airflow because high humidity favours mold and rooting, and store it apart from other produce because its odor transfers easily. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
