In today’s international foodservice market, chefs and procurement managers are no longer satisfied with generic garlic—they demand precision. According to a 2023 Euromonitor report, over 68% of high-end restaurants in Europe and North America now specify garlic varieties by flavor profile and texture when sourcing ingredients. This shift reflects a deeper understanding: not all garlic is created equal.
| Variety | Flavor Profile | Texture | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pure White Garlic | Mild, slightly sweet | Soft, easy to crush | Sauces, soups, braised dishes |
| Large White Garlic | Stronger bite, earthy notes | Firm, holds shape well | Roasting, stir-fries, marinades |
| Red Garlic | Spicy, pungent, aromatic | Crunchy when raw | Garlic aioli, pesto, dressings |
| Purple Garlic | Complex, floral, subtle heat | Delicate, softens quickly | Raw salads, sushi, garnishes |
For example, red garlic—used extensively in Italian kitchens—is prized for its ability to deliver intense aroma without overwhelming the dish. Meanwhile, purple garlic from our certified farms in Shandong has been shown to retain up to 22% more volatile oils during storage compared to conventional varieties (based on internal lab tests at 15°C over 7 days).
Q: Is red garlic really spicier than white?
A: Yes—on average, red garlic registers 30–40% higher pungency on the Scoville scale due to higher allicin content. It's ideal for sauces where you want boldness but not burn.
Our standard 10kg net bag packaging isn’t just about convenience—it’s a functional upgrade. Each bag includes breathable mesh lining that reduces moisture buildup by ~35%, minimizing spoilage risk during transit and storage. In fact, one major hotel chain in Dubai reported a 15% decrease in waste after switching to this format.
Pro Tip: Store garlic in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Keep it whole until use—once peeled, oxidation accelerates. For long-term use, freeze minced garlic in oil for up to 3 months.
Whether you're crafting a signature sauce or optimizing kitchen efficiency across multiple outlets, selecting the right garlic variety makes a measurable difference—not just in taste, but in consistency, cost control, and customer satisfaction.
