Elephant garlic clove

Elephant garlic clove is a variety of garlic characterized by its enormous cloves, which are much larger than those of common garlic. Unlike traditional garlic, which usually has multiple small cloves, elephant garlic has a few large cloves, making it easier to peel and use in cooking.

This type of garlic is originally from the United States, although it is also grown in other regions with temperate climates. Its flavor is milder and less pungent than conventional garlic, making it ideal for those who prefer a more delicate flavor in their dishes.

Regarding its properties, elephant garlic retains the typical benefits of garlic, such as its antimicrobial and antioxidant effects, in addition to helping improve circulation and strengthen the immune system.

In different Hispanic American countries, the elephant garlic clove may also be known as giant garlic or American garlic. It is an excellent option to include in recipes where a more subtle garlic flavor is desired or when quick preparation is needed, as its larger size makes it easier to handle.
