Garlic here is 60-cents a head, and it's usually pretty dry and sometimes beginning to sprout by the time it makes it to the supermarket floor.Garlic from the market yesterday evening. There's ½ kilo here for ฿30.00 (about 90 US cents).

The bulbs in the other photo have been left in the ground 'too long'. In quotes because it just means that they weren't harvested at precisely the correct time usually because they aren't yet big enough bulbs. If you leave the bulbs to swell and grow for longer, the outer skin splits and is shed, so they head of garlic doesn't keep for as long but you get bigger bulbs. Harvest them earlier and you get the skins inn the 2nd picture, they store better but unless they grew really well in ideal conditions with plenty of fertiliser, you don't get such plump cloves...I don't know why sometimes the garlic bulbs have the outside skin removed (as above) and sometimes they don't.
I need to sit down and remove the skins from these cloves to puree them for the freezer..
Curious about this

That sounds exiting!Its fantastic. You need do nothing other than add some to cooked pasta and mix it in for a wonderful dish. Of course there are other things you can do too but I'd start with pasta - and you don't need much. Its a fruity tasting chilli paste and packs a punch.
I get through a pack that size (both) about once a year. I love tamarind...We had these packs of tamarind "concentrate" given yesterday. It appears to me about half way to paste. Even if we give one pack away (which is likely) there would be sufficient left to last us 10 years!
