As a matter of fact, the majority of common garlic consumed in the United States come from China. The cloves of Chinese garlic are uniform crescents, not to mention that they are creamy, spicy, and pungent. Nutritionally, this garlic is an excellent source of manganese, vitamin C, and vitamin B6. It also contains allicin which is responsible not only for the potent aroma but has antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial properties. It is worth noting that garlic is also used today by some people for the prevention of lung cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, stomach cancer, rectal cancer, and colon cancer.
