Those who are wondering whether they can still cook with sprouted garlic will want to know that the answer is yes but it is a good idea to remove the sprout before using it. As far as freshness is concerned, sprouted garlic is pretty much on its way out so you don’t have a lot of time before it is no longer good after it has begun to sprout.

Sometimes getting sprouted garlic from the grocery store is really your only option, especially when the supermarket doesn’t have any that is fresh. Although you will want to avoid using sprouted garlic in cooking because it is not incredibly fresh, it is still acceptable when there is no alternative.
