For seasoning, garlic cloves are used either fresh, dried, or aged (black garlic). Dried garlic is available in powdered form, sliced into flakes, or granulated as seen here.
Garlic, also known as Allium sativum, is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world. It was already used as a spice by the ancient Egyptians. The plant is relatively undemanding and thrives in various climatic zones on nutrient-rich and loose soils. There are different varieties that range from pink to reddish to white. In tropical climates, garlic is harvested 4-6 months after planting the cloves and then dried under the sun.
