Garlic, Spring (Green)

Spring garlic, also known as green garlic, is young garlic that is harvested early in the season before the bulbs fully mature. It resembles a green onion or scallion, with a slender white bulb at the base and tender green stalks. The flavor of spring garlic is milder, sweeter, and less pungent than mature garlic, making it a versatile ingredient that adds a gentle garlic essence to dishes without overpowering them. Both the white bulb and green tops are edible, and it can be used raw in salads or lightly cooked in sautés, soups, and stir-fries for a fresh, delicate garlic flavor.
