Chinese garlic is very obviously being grown indoors in hydroponics/aeroponics or some sort of greenhouse setup - There has never been a speck of dirt on it. The heads are of extremely consistent size. Listen I prefer local garlic because its many times more flavorful, but I keep garlic so long it sprouts as it is. So I buy it at the grocery store year-round.
Instead of Chinese garlic I just use the jar of preserved minced garlic at Costco when no local garlic is available. It’s grown in California and basically pickled in citric acid. It adds a little sourness but it’s better than buying questionable produce from China IMO.
I also have a shitload of onions hanging in the basement from my garden and they are so potent it makes up for any garlic weakness!

They also use slave labour. In prisons they maul their fingers until they have no nails, then they work them to the bone. Every day all day
Not doubting, but do you have a source so I can read more about it?
“Garlic Breath” is a episode from the Netflix series “Rotten” that brought this information to the mainstream.
Oh fuck 😔
