Garlic

GARLIC

  • Garlic is a species in the onion family. The use of garlic has been documented for thousands of years – including the ancient Egyptians, who used it both as a food seasoning and a traditional medicine. Today, it is grown around the world and used extensively for its pungent flavor.
  • Garlic is arranged in a head, called a “bulb”, which averages about 2 inches in height and diameter and consists of numerous small separate cloves. This bulb is what we typically see on supermarket shelves.
  • Garlic cloves may be consumed raw or cooked, and they may also be used for medicinal purposes. They have a strong, spicy flavour and aroma that mellows and sweetens considerably with cooking.
  • Today, garlic production in China provides 80% of the world’s supply of garlic.
