Cultivation of Garlic Flakes,
Garlic flakes belong to the leek family and most likely originate in southwest Asia. It is a perennial with a height of up to 1.50 meters and has a 10 cm thick tuber root/onion, the well-known garlic bulb. The plant is grown all over the world today and used in every kitchen.
Garlic: Allium sativum is one of the first crops in the world. The Egyptians used it first as a spice. The plant is relatively undemanding and grows in any climate, and thrives on nutrient-rich and loose soils. There are different varieties, ranging from pink to reddish to white. In a tropical climate, the garlic is ripe for harvest after 4-6 months. Then it is dried under the sun.

Culinary use
Garlic goes well with many dishes. For example, I like to fry zucchini in the pan. Then, I add the garlic, Himalayan salt, and chili pods bird eyesat the end of the cooking time. Garlic is used in numerous dishes and goes particularly well with all-powerful herbs.
Garlic refines pork chops, veal, beef, and chicken. Just add the rosemary, salt, and garlic just before the end of the cooking time.
You can use garlic to make the well-known Alli Oli - mix garlic, oil, and salt into a cream. In some recipes, they refine it even with egg yolks and mustard.
I also like garlic with oven-cooked potato wedges.
