An odd one this month: fresh garlic, also known as green garlic or spring garlic. When we presented the AgroKatina report and pocket guides to the public during an event at Vincent’s Eco Farm, we asked the participants what their favourite local vegetable or fruit is. We were not surprised to hear that most people love the Maltese oranges, pomegranates, tomatoes and strawberries. However, one participant did catch us by surprise, and mentioned fresh garlic as their favourite Maltese vegetable. While unexpected, it is not without reason as fresh garlic is a delicious and special ingredient, which is why we decided to put it in the spotlight this month!
