White Garlic

Commodity Overview

Fresh, whole garlic bulbs have thin, papery white peels enclosing about 10-15 individual cloves that have their own tight, thin golden skin. A good-quality bulb will be plump and firm with the roots still attached. Garlic does not have a strong fragrance until the cloves are crushed, releasing its trademark pungent scent. Garlic is an allium.
