Uses for a bowl full of sprouty garlic?

It's not actually very death-breath-creating. When the garlic is roasted it loses a lot of its pungency, and goes creamy and delish. So you'd still have to do something else to keep the vampires away.0

It should grow. I've planted Argentinian garlic cloves from the supermarket, and they rooted - like a lot of the onion family - so vigourously that they pushed themselves out of the ground! It just shows how much "life force" they have and how good they must be for you.The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life.

I was just wondering...I have a bulb of garlic which has sprouted so it has a little green shoot coming from it.
Is it still edible please?
Thank you x x0 -
Hi Bambywamby,
It is still edible, but the green bits can be bitter so it's best to cut them out before using it.
This is the perfect time for planting garlic and as yours are sprouting already, that's what I would do. Break the garlic into individual cloves and pop them into a pot (sprouting end up) with some soil. Leave the pot outside (garlic needs cold to grow) and water regularly. For every clove you plant you will end up with a full bulb next June/July.

The traditional saying in growing garlic is.
"Plant it on the shortest day and harvest it on the longest day"
But it will not matter if you plant it now.I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.0 -
I dont remember garlic being this bad. Recently all garlic I have bought and used almost immediately has really thick green shoots in the middle. I have to take them out and it makes my fingers smell for days!
Is anyone else having this problem?0 -
this may be a silly question, but you dont keep them in the fridge do you?0

I think they start to shoot when they are getting old?
Actually I have noticed this recently too. Even with garlic I have just bought :mad:0
