I see no point in freezing garlic.... it's been a very long time since
any has rotted for me, years... each time I shop I buy a couple heads
so I always have new... and on the very rare occasions I've run out I
use dehy/granulated, certainly cheap enough... and that I store in my
freezer along with other herbs/spices to extend freshness.
