Review: You can always count on Trader Joe's to have fresh organic produce for a decent price. The one caveat is that you usually have to buy said produce in quantities larger than one. Fortunately, I eat a lot of garlic. Vampires got nothin' on me. I chop up a clove of garlic to make almost everything. Even if I'm just cooking up a couple of eggs, it is not uncommon for me to throw a little garlic in the frying pan and let it brown before cracking the shells.

As far as TJ produce goes, two of anything in a package is a small number. Avocados must be purchased in packages of four. Tomatoes usually come in threes.

This garlic is extremely fresh and is, on average, larger than most heads of garlic I purchase at the local Dominick's or Jewel. The warm fuzzy feeling comes with knowing that the garlic is organic, and hopefully the unfelt health benefits will come along with that. For now, I will take solace in the fact that this is a strong tasting, easy to chop, crush or mince garlic that will go well with the next "whatever" I cook up.
