Description
Garlic came from a long-pointed onion, growing in Central Asia. The cultivation of garlic began in Iran and Afghanistan. There is evidence that in ancient times garlic was used mainly for medicinal purposes (for example, in India). Garlic was used by many peoples: Greeks, Egyptians, Jews, Arabs. When excavating Egyptian tombs and opening sarcophagi, garlic was found in front of the mummies and in their bodies. It is also known that in ancient Egypt, garlic was included in the diet of people performing hard physical work (pyramid builders).
The vegetable is an integral ingredient in many national dishes. For example pizza, turret (Gascon garlic soup), aioli (Mediterranean sauce of olive oil, garlic and egg yolk), pickled heads of garlic (popular in Korea and Japan), or at least lard with garlic famous in Europe and many others.
