How much does garlic cost in your country?
Here in Europe prices are insane.Just couple of years ago you could get a kilo for 1-2€. Now a kilo costs up to 10 €. Has garlic become a luxury?

Albany, ny area, theyre usually about $0.75 a head. all the groceries here sell them by the head rather than weight.
2 decent sized heads for $1 here in mountain-and-hipsterland, USA
Vancouver Canada: $1 for 2 heads, 3 if it's from China...

usa. cheap as fuck. less than 50 cents a head.
In Seattle, at one of my local grocers, $5 a pound, which ends up being a bit over 2 dollars for 5 heads.

At my local Asian market in Texas it's like a dollar for 5 heads.

That would be like 12$ a kilo. That's pretty expensive. I can still find a kilo for less than 5€, but just a couple of years ago a kilo was like 2€.

if garlic is expensive as fuck where you live, just remember you can grow your own
>>7780587
how much fucking garlic do you eat that you need to buy it by the kilo and how fucking poor are you that something that only costs pennies is a luxury

It's pretty worrying when something goes from 2 to 10 euro in a year dude.

its literally the exact same price as ours now.
seems like euros are finally learning how to cook.
I've only started cooking recently and I was unaware that garlic used to be cheaper a couple years ago. I figured that garlic is relatively expensive partly because it is so low in water content (so you are buying more actual vegetable matter), plus you use comparatively little of it.

I either grow my own, or forage for wild garlic when supplies run low
Like 50c each

Same. In North Jersey Stop & Shop has them for $0.50 each.

This desu guys, growing garlic is probably the easiest thing, and you can use the green part as it grows to put over salads or whatever you want.

Yeah, I was actually amazed and how easy it was (to the extent that I had to start culling some of the plants because I couldn't keep up).
Never tried using the greens on salads though - kind of want to try that now

It adds a milder garlic smell and taste. Like a stronger ciboullette. I toss it over salads, on chicken soups, goes great with seafood, etc. Try it.

Definitely will do
Free because it grows fucking everywhere
Grow and freeze a bunch of it for when it's out of season. It grows rampant in pretty much all of Europe
