This hardneck garlic is closer to wild garlic, with complex flavors. The peels slip fairly easily off hardneck garlic and it provides a richer, deeper flavor without that raw garlic "burn". This garlic is most definitely different than the softneck garlic you find in grocery stores. Garlic doesn't need to be cured before you can eat it, curing is simply a means to naturally preserve garlic for long term storage, the garlic legend goes; properly cured and properly stored, garlic can last for a year.

Keep in a dry, cool place away from moisture.
