In the competitive world of international food exports, few ingredients carry the same blend of flavor depth, nutritional value, and visual appeal as premium purple garlic. Yishangqiao (Hangzhou) International Trade Co., Ltd. has built its reputation on delivering consistently high-quality purple garlic that meets the exacting standards of top-tier chefs and discerning consumers worldwide.
Unlike common white or red garlic varieties, Yishangqiao’s purple garlic boasts a milder, more complex aroma—often described as “sweetly pungent” with subtle notes of honey and herbs. This is not just anecdotal: lab tests show an average allicin content of 3.2 mg/g in our export-grade bulbs, compared to 2.7 mg/g in standard white garlic—a key differentiator for both taste and health benefits.
| Variety | Flavor Profile | Color & Texture | Ideal Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purple Garlic | Mild, sweet, aromatic | Deep violet skin, firm flesh | Fine dining, raw dishes, sauces |
| White Garlic | Strong, sharp bite | Off-white, soft texture | Roasting, stir-fries, general cooking |
| Red Garlic | Medium intensity, earthy | Reddish-brown skin, dense cloves | Soups, marinades, traditional recipes |
What truly elevates Yishangqiao’s purple garlic is its rich anthocyanin content—up to 85 mg per 100g, according to independent lab analysis. These natural antioxidants contribute to its deep hue and are linked to anti-inflammatory properties, making it a favorite among health-conscious buyers in Europe and North America.
“I use it in my truffle aioli—it adds complexity without overpowering,” says Chef Marco Rossi from Milan’s Michelin-starred La Bottega del Vino. “It’s not just garlic—it’s a flavor enhancer.”
Our export batches follow a rigorous grading system: Grade A (minimum 45mm diameter, uniform purple skin, no bruises), Grade B (40–45mm), and Grade C (under 40mm). Each batch undergoes inspection by certified agronomists before shipping, ensuring every order delivers consistent quality—critical for restaurant chains and wholesale buyers.
We maintain a strict -3°C to 0°C cold chain from harvest to container loading. This preserves volatile compounds responsible for aroma and prevents sprouting—ensuring your garlic arrives fresh, potent, and ready for use, even after 6 weeks in transit.
