Garlic is a versatile and easy-to-grow plant with a history spanning 3,000 years. It's found in nearly every kitchen and cuisine in the world! Garlic is known for its pungent and spicy flavour and is used as a seasoning and condiment in many cuisines. Use it in soups, salads, fish, poultry, meat, eggs, sauces, dressings, breads, grains, and vegetables. We start most fried dishes by toasting a bit of garlic and onion in oil before adding meat and/or vegetables - the flavour mellows while saturating the oil for a uniform distribution in the dish.
