Known for its large bulbs, thick scapes, thin skin, tender and thick flesh, as well as its pungent, warm, spicy, crisp, and tender flavor, it offers unique health benefits such as disease prevention, anti-cancer properties, lowering blood lipids and cholesterol, soothing digestive issues, dispelling cold, and relieving pain.
