Common garlic bulbs range from medium to large, averaging anywhere between 5-8 centimeters in diameter, and consist of several cloves arranged in a number of layers depending on the variety. Each clove of garlic is encased in its individual wrapper, and the bulb itself has layers of thin, flakey wrappers to protect the cloves. Often referred to as the "stinking rose," whole Common garlic actually has a very mild allium scent and taste. However, Once the cloves are crushed or pressed, enzyme compounds are released, producing a sulfur-based molecule known as allicin, which is responsible for giving garlic its renowned pungent aroma and flavor.
Common garlic will keep between one to four months, depending on the specific variety, when stored in a cool and dry place.

Fresh, whole garlic bulbs have thin, papery white peels enclosing about 10-15 individual cloves that have their own tight, thin golden skin. A good-quality bulb will be plump and firm with the roots still attached. Garlic does not have a strong fragrance until the cloves are crushed, releasing its trademark pungent scent.

Black garlic is not a different variety. It is common garlic that is placed in a curing process involving heat and humidity over a month-long period using specially designed machines and environmentally controlled temperatures. These designed conditions also allow for the Maillard reaction to occur, which is the process that yields new flavor combinations allowing the Black garlic to have a mild, sweet, and no heat taste. Black garlic has grown in popularity among high-end restaurants for its unique flavors and is also known for not leaving a pungent garlic odor on the breath. It has a mild, sweet, and syrupy taste with a molasses undertone and nuances of tamarind and soy sauce.
Black garlic should be stored in a cool, dry place. Once opened, store in the refrigerator to extend its shelf life.
