Snow Mountain Garlic

I never actually have seen nor heard bout it till, big sis and her hubby brought this over to let me and Jason to have a sample of it and a story(unfortunately I'm not gonna divulge in this blog;P) about it...

It so does not look like your regular garlic, as apparrently from what was told to them which they in turn told us, these garlic actually grows in the Himalayas and they grow on the stalk of the garlic plant as temperatures in those altitudes; the ground sometimes solidifies and become rock solid so it can be difficult for the plant to carry nutirents from the root to the leaves thus the bulbs form on the stalk to compensate for emergency situations... Ingenious!!




Not only that while reading the brochure, its been pointed out that the garlic is only harvested once a year and it provides tons and tons of health benefits to the heart, blood and much more (and according to the person who sold it to them, if u eat 8bulbs it has a similar effect to viagra WTH!?!)... Gotta research on it...

However I might add its actually quite pleasent on the palatte; it had a nice crunch and very clean taste to it and I felt like as if it provided a nice refreshing aftertaste as it wasn't too overpowering like the garlic which we are used too... Now I'm gonna go hunting to get my hands on some tomorrow^^
