B Grade White Garlic

Each bulb has about 7 to 15 cloves. The plant grows to about 4 feet and it has a very short and disk-shaped stem that forms at the base of the plant. The root is located at the base of the bulb. A typical garlic plant under the right conditions takes about 9 months to mature.

Currently, garlic is most commonly promoted as a dietary supplement for conditions related to the heart and blood vessels, including high blood cholesterol and high blood pressure. Fresh garlic, garlic powder, and garlic oil are used to flavor foods. Garlic may be used topically (applied to the skin).

Studies in animals have indicated that, like fresh garlic, black garlic may help reduce inflammation and improve blood flow in the heart and arteries. Black garlic may also help lower levels of "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides, which in turn reduces the risk of heart disease.
