Green Garlic

Green garlic is believed to have originated in central Asia and records of it date back nearly 5,000 years. It has the shape of thin, green stalks that have small, cylindrical to globular white bulbs at the base. Besides, Green garlic has a firm texture with a bright, sharp flavor, and can be used in both raw and cooked applications. Nutrition-wise, this variety contains vitamin C, vitamin B6, and manganese. It also contains some calcium and phosphorus. As a matter of fact, taking 2-3 cloves of raw or cooked garlic a day or sipping some garlic tea (with a touch of honey or ginger to lift up the taste) is not only going to relieve a stuffed nose and cure the cold but also build your immunity against these frequent visitors over time.
