Ever walked through the local fruit shop and noticed the garlic prices. The chinese product is about $1.00 per kg very nice white looking yummy. The Australian product is brown and about 10 times the price.
The reason why is Australian product is far superior and natural. The chinese garlic usually grown in human waste in large quantity, very dark brown colour. Then to whiten it make it look good, it goes through a bleaching process multiple times using chlorine. That is not garlic anymore
Buy Australian garlic, you won't be sorry pay a little more.
