Cooking Tips
🧄 Garlic
- Crush garlic and let it sit 10 minutes before cooking to activate allicin.
- Add garlic near the end of cooking to prevent burning and bitterness.
- Roast a whole head at 400°F (200°C) for 40 minutes for sweet, mellow garlic.
Nutrition: Contains allicin with antimicrobial properties. Also provides manganese and vitamin B6.
Storage: Store whole bulbs in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months. Peeled cloves last 1 week refrigerated.
🧈 Butter
- Use unsalted butter for cooking so you can control the salt level.
- Brown butter in a light-colored pan so you can see the color change.
- Clarified butter has a higher smoke point and won't burn as easily.
Nutrition: Source of vitamin A and healthy fats in moderation. One tablespoon has about 100 calories.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 1 month, or freeze for up to 6 months.
