At Frutamare we strive for our customers to be able to buy all types of fruits and vegetables online with the highest guarantee of quality and freshness, and one of the vegetables we offer are tender garlic, a delicate and versatile food with a delicate flavor that will add an extra touch to your dishes.
Tender garlic, also known as green garlic, is a vegetable that is cultivated at any time of the year, although its peak season starts in late February and lasts until summer. If you wonder what tender garlic really is, it is nothing more than the common garlic that we all know and that has not reached maturity. Tender garlic is harvested before it begins to develop the bulb that grows underground and later develops its characteristic cloves.
Why buy tender garlic?
Tender garlic is bright green in color and is thin and long, its aroma and flavor are similar to mature garlic but much milder and sweeter. They are a perfect ingredient in a variety of dishes: from simply grilling them, braising them or in a scramble, to being part of more elaborate recipes such as sautéed with meat or fish or even in rice dishes, adding mellowness and a delicate flavor to the recipes.
Buying garlic is something that is done in almost every household because they are one of the basic ingredients in most recipes and for the benefits they provide, although for some people they may be indigestible or have a too strong flavor. Tender garlic is an alternative that solves this problem, as they provide the same benefits as common garlic, although not being mature they contain a higher water content and both their flavor and aroma are much milder, resulting in lighter digestion.
Nutritional properties of tender garlic
Buying tender garlic for its versatility and flavor is always a good option, but if we also value the benefits it provides thanks to its nutritional properties, the reasons multiply:
-
They contain phenolic acids, which act as antiseptic in the digestive system and also strengthen the respiratory system.
-
They contain allicin, which acts as a natural antibiotic and relieves cold symptoms.
-
They have a blood-thinning effect and the ability to dissolve small clots and help dilate the arteries, making them helpful against some cardiovascular diseases.
