Green Garlic

Garlic is available as Green garlic, the early stage of growth before the cloves begin to form. Similar to a fresh green onion or leek that is not fully matured, Green garlic has a green leafed shoot attached to a very small white bulb. When purchased, green garlic is much milder than mature garlic and is often used as a flavoring for salads and mildly flavored garlic seasonings. Green garlic may also be referred to as garlic greens or garlic sprouts.
