Transcript: And why cure your garlic? So here’s the thing, we all love garlic. And if you want to enjoy garlic throughout the seasons, you really need to cure it so that you have beautiful bulbs to enjoy all throughout the winter. And you also if you want to be saving your garlic seed and replanting the biggest, most beautiful cloves in the fall, you want to be curing it as well. And that’ll ensure that it will last until then. Otherwise it might rot, mold, shrivel. But you also just want to make sure that the garlic is fully going through its lifecycle. And it’s a really important part of its lifecycle to go into that dormancy of a Mediterranean winter, which is you curing it.
So, yes, curing is totally optional. If you only grow a dozen or so heads, you’re probably going to eat it. If you eat garlic as much as I do, then there’s really no reason to cure it. But if you love garlic as much as I do, you’re growing 100 Plus, if not 10,000 bulbs of garlic, in which case you want to cure that garlic, and different garlic will last at different have different storage capacities even with the same level of curing. And so check out some of our other videos about individual varieties and exploring how long each one will last.
