Garlic is one of the most used spices in Indian cuisine. Recently, banned Chinese garlic has found its way to Indian markets illegally. Here are the differences between the two:
Chinese garlic is banned in India as it is known to be cultivated by the use of harmful chemicals and pesticides to improve yield. It is harmful to consume.
Indian garlic is usually cultivated using natural and traditional farming methods with minimal chemicals. This yields a more organic and healthy product.
Chinese garlic is lower in price when compared to Indian garlic, which results in losses for Indian garlic farmers.
Chinese garlic is smaller in size and has a white or pink colour. Indian garlic is larger and may be white to light brown in colour.
Indian garlic has a pungent aroma and a strong flavour that enhances the flavour of dishes. Chinese garlic has a milder flavour and aroma.
