It usually has about 6 cloves per head. The garlic skin is white, and the cloves are pure white. This kind of garlic has plump cloves and abundant garlic flesh, with a strong garlic flavor. In cooking, large-clove garlic is a great helper for making seasonings like minced garlic. Because the cloves are large, it is convenient to process and can quickly release a strong garlic aroma. Whether it's garlic-flavored broccoli or garlic-roasted oysters, with the addition of large-clove garlic, the taste is instantly elevated to a higher level.
小瓣蒜
There are usually more than 10 cloves per head, and the cloves are relatively small. Xinjiang white-skin garlic is one kind of small-clove garlic. Although its cloves are small, the garlic flavor is by no means inferior. Small-clove garlic is especially useful when making pickled foods or garlic paste. Due to the large number of cloves, it can fully absorb seasonings during the pickling process, resulting in a uniform taste. Imagine those small cloves of garlic wrapped in seasonings in a jar. After a period of time, they turn into delicious pickled garlic. Isn't it tempting?
二、按蒜皮颜色分

Jinxiang garlic has a large garlic head, white outer skin, uniform cloves, and a moderate garlic flavor. It is not only resistant to storage but also has a beautiful appearance, so it is very popular in the export and food processing fields. When making dehydrated garlic slices, garlic powder and other products, white-skin garlic is the top choice. In cooking, if you don't want the garlic flavor to be too strong, white-skin garlic is your best choice. For example, when making garlic bread, it can provide a soft garlic flavor.
紫皮蒜：
The garlic skin is purple or purplish red. The cloves are usually relatively small, but the garlic flavor is strong and the spiciness is heavy. Beijing purple-skin garlic is a typical example. The cloves are closely packed, the garlic skin is purplish red, and the texture is relatively crisp. Purple-skin garlic contains more allicin and has a super strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect. For dishes like cold salads and stews with a strong garlic flavor, adding purple-skin garlic will definitely leave you with an unforgettable taste.

Dishes like twice-cooked pork with the addition of red-skin garlic have a just right garlic flavor.
三、按生态适应性分
低温敏感型：
This type of garlic is relatively sensitive to low temperatures and is suitable for planting in southern regions. For example, some garlic varieties planted in Guangdong, Guangxi and other places. They have a relatively short growth cycle and can be harvested in a relatively short time. In a warm environment, these garlic varieties grow vigorously and add unique flavors to southern cuisine.

This kind of garlic has strong cold resistance and is a good helper for farmers in the north.
