Indian garlic and Chinese garlic
Chinese garlic dominates world trade and is known for large, very white, easy-to-peel bulbs. Indian garlic is usually smaller-cloved and more pungent, which is why many buyers choose it for flavour. Tell us which you are replacing and we will suggest the closest grade.
