Sprouting Garlic Cloves - Tips

This is one full head of garlic beside another...Image via Wikipedia
I was watching a TV show today and learned a couple things about storing garlic cloves, and what a green sprout coming out of the clove means.

First, it's probably not a good idea to store garlic cloves in the refrigerator, because they'll tend to grow and send out a green shoot.  It's better to store them warm and dry to keep them dormant.

Second, if your cloves have sprouted, and you eat them, you can expect them to taste slightly bitter. So when prepping, it's a good idea to remove the green shoots.
