Garlic is widely used around the world for itspungent flavor as a seasoning or condiment. It is a fundamental component inmany or most dishes of various regions, including eastern Asia, south Asia,Southeast Asia, the Middle East, northern Africa, southern Europe, and parts ofSouth and Central America. The flavour varies in intensity and aroma with thedifferent cooking methods. It is often paired with onion, tomato, or ginger.The parchment-like skin is much like the skin of an onion and is typicallyremoved before using in raw or cooked form. An alternative is to cut the topoff the bulb, coat the cloves by dribbling olive oil (or other oil-basedseasoning) over them, and roast them in an oven. The garlic softens and can beextracted from the cloves by squeezing the (root) end of the bulb, orindividually by squeezing one end of the clove. In Japan and Korea, heads ofgarlic are fermented at high temperature; the resulting product, called blackgarlic, is sweet and syrupy, and is now being sold in the United States, UnitedKingdom and Australia.
