1. Hardness. The first step is to check the hardness of the garlic. To do this, press lightly on the clove. If it resists, then the garlic is fresh.

2. The clove is very compact, with smooth and dry white skin. There should be no signs of mold (no black powder). The skin should be free of cracks, cuts or other damage.

3. The garlic should be free of signs of sprouting as this indicates that the garlic is old.
