Garlic
Also known as: Softneck Garlic, Hardneck Garlic, Elephant Garlic, Wild Garlic, Society Garlic, Lahsun, Ajo, Ail
Garlic (Allium sativum) is a bulbous perennial of the amaryllis family, native to Central Asia and cultivated for thousands of years across the Mediterranean, Asia, and beyond. As an herb in the broad sense, its leaves (green garlic, garlic chives), scapes, and flower buds are used fresh, alongside the familiar bulb that is technically a vegetable. The plant's foliage is mild and grassy-green, carrying the same sulfur compounds that define garlic's unmistakable aroma, and is used as a seasoning herb in much the same way as chives or spring onion.
