Black garlic tastes amazing, but I would have to agree that $2 a bulb or more is a little over priced. If you find yourself using a lot of it, then you might consider making it at home. I'm currently researching methods of making your own black garlic at home using slow cookers and rice cookers etc. In general it's easy to make, but it does take 30 days. If you're a DIY'er you might consider learning how to make it yourself. Either way, you likely won't be sorry that you tried it :).

How do you remove dry garlic butter out of clothes?
As with most oil stains, try talc or white chalk. Spread it over the stain and leave for a few hours - overnight if the stain is very large. Shake off excess and wash as normal - some oil/butter/grease stains may require a second treatment.
Firstly you cut off a lot of the "tops" of the leeks, leaving just 2-3 inches of green on top of the white stem - this is the useable part of the leek. Then, you split the leek completely in half lenghways and wash thoroughly between each layer. Washing under running water is usually the easiest method.

Can you use an onion to grow an onion?
Unlike many other vegetables, onions can be used to regrow new onions by planting either a whole onion bulb or part of the onion that contains the root mass on the bottom. Once planted and hydrated, the roots on the bottom of the onion will begin to grow, and green onions will form out of the top of the vegetable. Onions can be used to grow new onions either using water - which is called hydroponic growing - or traditionally, using soil.

Actually...No, when certain compounds in garlic get below 35 they denature. The garlic will not taste the same. It will be harsher than fresh garlic. Some people don't mind and they use refrigerated or frozen garlic but most really picky cooks feel the time spent preping fresh garlic for each recipe is worth the more complex flavour. Sure - I do it all the time, with oilI spend no more than half an hour every six months or so peeling 250g garlic as soon as I buy it, while it is still crisp and fresh. Press each clove with a knife to make it easier to peel. Then peel them, and then chop them up just a bit and put them through a blender with about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of olive oil.It makes a nice smooth mush which I then store in a jar with a good lid, and place in the freezer door for easy access. It can be prised out with a knife in suitable chunks quite easily and thaws in no time. There is absolutely no waste.
Prior to trying this, most of my garlic went limp and started sending out shoots before I could use it.
PLS NOTE: A lot of websites warn that storing garlic in oil can cause botulism. So be very cautious about doing it.
As with most seasonings and vegetables, freezing in air tight containers or plastic wrap for a few weeks at a time should have no ill effects. However, it would be best to leave the garlic in clove form, minced or chopped garlic should be ok if not too moist at the time of freezing (helping with freezer-burn / off taste.)
And as with onions, Arm & Hammer helps keep garlic odors down.
Are you supposed to cut onion leaves off?
As the growing season progresses and after the onions are nearing maturity, we would mow off the tops of onions. This would allow the onion to stop sending nutrients into the tops and concentrate on growing the bulb to proper size to harvest. Other people prefer to leave the tops on even during storage to prevent moulds etc entering the onion.
What part of the onion would have chloroplast?
All plant cells contain chloroplasts, the amount present depends on the function of the cell. for example leaves will contain loads of chloroplast, hence why they are green.
The cells of an onion will still contain chloroplasts but only a few in comparison to the amount in a cell situated in the leaf. This is because onions are underground and aren't the primary site for photosynthesis.
