Zongdi Purple-skin Garlic

Zongdi Purple-skin Garlic

　　Zongdi Township in Ziyun Autonomous County has a long tradition of growing garlic. The Zongdi purple-skin garlic is cultivated in the mountains at an altitude of about 1,020 meters, within the territory of the Getu River Scenic Area. There are no pollution sources from any factories or mines within a 100-kilometer radius. Local farmers have long used organic manure, making it a purely green product with both medicinal and edible value. The garlic cloves are large, even-sized, with thin purplish-red skins, offering a delicious, crisp, spicy, and fragrant taste as well as rich nutrition. Its by-product, garlic sprouts, is fragrant, crisp, sweet, and easy to store. It can be refined into garlic oil and allicin, or processed into quick-frozen garlic cloves, pickled garlic cloves, dehydrated garlic slices, garlic beverages, and other products.
