Garlic is one of the oldest crops in the world, and it’s still a food staple in almost every culture. In fact, in the United States we eat over 250 million pounds of garlic a year.

Every home cook uses garlic at one time or another, and many prepare dishes with this herb several times a week. That’s why we’ve prepared this all-in-one guide for you about growing, harvesting, and eating—with some easy-to-prepare and tasty recipes—home-grown garlic.

In this collection’s Feature Articles, you’ll first learn some history and basics about garlic. Then, in Plant Profiles, we introduce you to popular varieties of garlic and we’ll get specific about the details for the best uses for these types of garlic.

Garlic is delicious to eat, but it’s also easy to grow! If you’re already a food gardener, some of this might be refresher content for you.
