Qudi Garlic

Last updated 2026-11-14 — Qudi Garlic is primarily cultivated in the northeastern part of Qudi Town, covering a planting area of 667 hectares. The main varieties are "Cangshan Garlic" and "Hybrid Garlic." Hybrid Garlic is renowned for its abundant bulb production. The bulbs are large with thin skin, a glossy red hue, and crisp, tender flesh, typically measuring over 5 cm in diameter, with 80% reaching over 6 cm. Not only is it refreshing and appetizing, but it also offers therapeutic benefits such as clearing heat and detoxifying. Its garlic scapes are slightly less productive but are nonetheless a delicious addition to any dish. Cangshan Garlic, on the other hand, is mainly grown for its scapes, which are fresh, green, juicy, crisp, and delicious. They store well and are easy to preserve, making them a popular vegetable choice in daily life. The bulbs of Cangshan Garlic are smaller and spicier, making them an excellent ingredient for pickling and making sauces.
