Wet garlic, also known as green garlic or spring garlic, is a young and tender form of garlic that is harvested before it fully matures. It is characterized by its mild and fresh flavor, with a subtle garlic taste and vibrant green stalks. Wet garlic is harvested early in the season, typically in spring, and is prized for its delicate texture and unique flavor profile. It can be used in various culinary preparations, adding a gentle garlic flavor to dishes without the pungency of mature garlic.
