About Green garlic

Green garlic, also known as spring garlic, is young, undeveloped garlic harvested before the bulb fully matures. Its slender, scallion-like appearance and milder, sweeter flavor make it a versatile ingredient in various cuisines, including Mediterranean, Asian, and American recipes. Rich in vitamins C and B6, manganese, and antioxidants, green garlic supports immune function, energy production, and cellular health. It contains allicin, a compound believed to have antimicrobial properties and heart-health benefits. Unlike mature garlic, green garlic has a softer texture and mellower taste, making it ideal for soups, stir-fries, pestos, and dressings. Low in calories and virtually fat-free, it is a nutritious addition to many dishes. However, those with sensitivity to sulfur compounds may experience digestive discomfort. Its brief seasonal availability in spring makes green garlic a prized ingredient for chefs and home cooks seeking fresh, vibrant flavors.
