Indian garlic has seen rising international demand due to its strong natural pungency, firm clove texture, and culinary versatility. Sourced predominantly from Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Maharashtra, Indian garlic offers consistent quality across seasonal harvests.
Bulb Grading and Sizing
Commercial garlic is classified by bulb diameter, typically ranging from 25mm to 55mm+. Importers require tight, compact cloves enclosed by clean, unbroken outer papery skin to prevent premature clove separation or desiccation during transit.
The Role of Air Curing
Before packing into leno mesh bags, garlic must be thoroughly air-cured to harden the protective skins and eliminate field moisture. When shipping across long maritime routes, temperature-controlled reefer containers are recommended to ensure optimal arrival condition.
