We've been freezing garlic lately but I feel like it loses quite a bit of pungency. We mince using a food processor. I end up using maybe twice as much as I normally would... it's a great time saver if you're okay with weaker tasting garlic and compensating accordingly.
I don't think it's necessary to freeze it, but idk for sure if you'll see a meaningful change in flavor or texture after freezing.
Usually you can store garlic long-term in a cool, dark place like with other root vegetables, but you need to dry it out first.
Here's a link to a page on curing and storing garlic you've grown at home.

Being "zero waste" means that we adopt steps towards reducing personal waste and minimizing our environmental impact.
Our community places a major focus on the 5 R's: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. We practice this by reducing consumption, choosing reusable goods, recycling, composting, and helping each other improve.
We also recognize excess CO₂, other GHG emissions, and general resource usage as waste.
