Garlic is a familiar spice, used in many dishes and is often cooked by housewives in the kitchen. Garlic not only improves the flavor of dishes but also brings health benefits, helping to increase resistance.
When going to the market, you will see two common types of garlic, one is white-skinned garlic, the other is purple-skinned garlic. How are these two different?
Garlic with purple skins tastes different from garlic with white skins.
Large garlic bulbs are more visually appealing due to their dazzling white skin, and many people choose to purchase this variety. Garlic bulbs with white skins are frequently watery. Garlic with white skins is less hot and crispier.
In contrast, garlic bulbs with somewhat or fully purple skin will be prized for its higher nutritional content, higher allicin content, and more delectable flavor.
