Kashmiri garlic, also known as Himalayan garlic or mountain garlic, is a unique variety of garlic native to the Kashmir region and the Himalayan mountain range. It is celebrated for its intense, pungent flavor and strong aroma, which are more pronounced than those of common garlic varieties. The bulbs of Kashmiri garlic are generally small, round, and compact, with multiple tightly packed cloves that often exhibit a slightly pink or purplish hue. This variety of garlic is not only a culinary delight but also a powerhouse of medicinal properties, largely due to its high allicin content, which is responsible for its robust flavor and numerous health benefits.
