Q. What does solo garlic mean?

Allium sativum most often known as "garlic" comes in many varieties (garlic). The skin is white and usually has purple stripes similar to a pickling onion. When compared to regular garlic peeling solo garlic takes a fraction of the time. Evidence suggests that the mountainous region of Yunnan China is where the lone garlic clove first appeared. About 7000 years ago farmers in the region around the Himalayas began cultivating single-clove garlic. It's not just one type of garlic but rather the result of deliberate cultivation methods. In temperate zones garlic is often planted in late summer or early fall and harvested in late spring.
