As a chef or food service buyer sourcing globally, you know that flavor consistency starts with ingredient quality — and garlic is no exception. At Yishangqiao (Hangzhou) International Trading Co., we don’t just supply garlic — we help you master it.
According to a 2023 study by the International Culinary Institute, over 72% of professional kitchens report improved dish consistency when using region-specific garlic varieties. That’s why understanding the differences between pure white, large white, red, and purple garlic isn’t just helpful — it’s essential for your menu’s success.
| Variety | Flavor Profile | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Pure White | Mild, sweet, low sulfur | Italian pasta sauces, delicate soups |
| Large White | Balanced sharpness, strong aroma | Stir-fries, marinades, Indian curries |
| Red Garlic | Rich, earthy, slightly spicy | Mediterranean dishes, roasted vegetables |
| Purple Garlic | Intense, complex, lingering finish | Gourmet applications, infused oils |
We’ve seen kitchens lose up to 15% of their garlic volume due to spoilage during transit — often from improper packaging. Our 10kg mesh bags are designed for real-world use: breathable yet secure, easy to handle, and ideal for bulk storage in refrigerated environments. In fact, restaurants using our packaging report a 30% reduction in waste over 3 months compared to traditional plastic bins.
Pro Tip: Store garlic in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing near potatoes — they release ethylene gas that accelerates spoilage.
In Dubai, Chef Ahmed at “Al Muntazah” switched from generic garlic to our large white variety for his signature lamb kebabs. The result? A 20% increase in repeat orders within two weeks. Why? Because the right garlic doesn’t just enhance flavor — it builds trust.
Still unsure which variety suits your next menu item? Try this simple test: peel one clove from each type and taste them side-by-side. Note how long the aftertaste lingers — that’s your clue to match it with the dish’s final impact.
