Garlic (Allium sativum)

Garlic (Allium sativum), also commonly known as sow garlic, is an essential ingredient in many culinary dishes and is valued not only for its characteristic aromatic and strong flavour, but also for its medicinal and health benefits. It is native to Central Asia, but thanks to its versatile uses and ease of cultivation, it can now be found in gardens all over the world. Garlic is a plant of the amaryllis family, similar to onions, leeks and asparagus.

Its drupes (or 'heads') are made up of a bunch of small spines (commonly called 'tassels'), which are the main source of its strong and unique aroma. Garlic is a key ingredient in many culinary recipes around the world. Its intense flavour is a staple with many sauces such as garlic aioli or the popular toum in Arabic cuisine. Crushed garlic is often used in marinades, garnishes, soups and grilled dishes. And of course, the traditional garlic spread, which is popular in many European cuisines, cannot be omitted. In addition, garlic is used in the production of certain types of cheese, sausages and other delicacies. Its pungent taste and aroma thus offer endless possibilities for use in gastronomy. Beyond its culinary uses, however, garlic is also known for its health benefits, including strengthening the immune system and its beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system.
