Garlic (China)

Its intense and unique flavor and aroma make it a mainstay of cuisines around the world. When eaten raw, garlic has a powerful, pungent flavor. It mellows the flavor considerably. It’s generally used as a flavoring ingredient in recipes rather than as the main ingredient itself, although roasted garlic can be eaten as a spread or condiment. It can be added to dishes that are sautéed, baked, roasted, braised; added to soups, sauces, marinades, spice rubs, stir-frys; minced and used in sausages, meatballs, and other ground meat preparations.
