How to buy garlic: Choose garlic that has plump, firm bulbs. Look for bulbs with the roots still intact - imports from China often have the root shaved off. Avoid garlic that is soft or light in weight, as this is a sign of age or dehydration. Avoid garlic that is "sprouting," as it can add a bitter taste to food. California varieties are usually off-white in color and roughly heart-shaped.
