What is wild garlic?

Wild garlic (Allium ursinum) is a plant that belongs to the subfamily of garlic plants. It grows wild in forests throughout Europe and in some parts of Asia. In Poland, it is partially protected by law, which means it cannot be harvested in its natural habitat, but it can be cultivated. The name wild garlic comes from a legend that says it was the first meal of bears after ending their hibernation. In recent years, its popularity in cooking has steadily increased.

Wild garlic - culinary uses

One of the main advantages of wild garlic is that it does not leave an unpleasant aroma like ordinary garlic. As a spice, it enriches the flavor of delicate dishes such as quark, egg spreads, and vegetable salads. It enhances the taste of soups like tomato, vegetable, and cucumber soups. Butter mixed with wild garlic is an excellent addition to sandwiches. Aromatic olive oil or delicious garlic pesto can be made from it. It is worth not confusing it with parsley, dill, or chives.

Wild garlic - medicinal properties

It is called a natural antibiotic because it works similarly to synthetic antibiotics. It kills bacteria responsible for disease processes without disturbing the body's bacterial flora. It has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system by lowering bad cholesterol, reducing the risk of blood clots, and balancing blood pressure. It has antiparasitic and antifungal properties. It supports the digestive system by improving bowel function and increasing bile production.
