I meant, the garlic l purchase from the supermarkets for immediate culinary use, are usually from China.
Waitrose and M&S garlic aren’t but Tesco and Asda’s garlic are.

Re: Garlic has done well this year...
Sainsbury's are selling Spanish garlic - but it is far too mild for my taste. Asda and Tesco are offering Chinese - which I won't touch. Heading for York tomorrow and will go to my favourite Italian deli and buy garlic there - it is always top quality and delicious! Maybe come Autumn I will try and grow my own.28-07-2021, 07:55 PM
