I buy the bulk, peeled garlic at Costco, then portion it out in smaller packs, [chamber] vacuum seal it, and freeze it. Now, I read (here, and other places) that vacuum sealing fresh garlic is a no-no because of the botulism risk. However, I can't find anyone discussing the scenario that I'm using. Is the concern regarding vacuum sealing garlic related to leaving it at room temp after sealing it? I can't see why vacuum sealing would impart anything special in terms of botulism as compared to just freezing it without vacuum sealing. Anyone have some opinions/knowledge on this subject? Thanks!
