Garlic has been used in cooking for thousands of years and is known for its pungent aroma and bold flavor. It is believed to have originated in Central Asia and was introduced to the Mediterranean region by traders and travelers. The use of garlic quickly spread throughout Europe and eventually made its way to the Americas.
 
In ancient times, garlic was used not only as a seasoning but also as a medicinal plant. It was believed to have healing properties and was used to treat a variety of ailments, from infections to digestive issues.
 
Today, garlic is a staple in many cuisines around the world and is used in a variety of dishes, from soups and stews to pasta and pizza. It is also a key ingredient in many spice blends, such as "Wilde Garlek".
 
"Wilde Garlek" is a powerful garlic-flavored spice blend made up of black pepper, celery seed, chive, garlic (granular, toasted, flake, and black), and onion. Each of these ingredients contributes to the blend's bold and savory flavor profile.
 
Black pepper adds heat and depth, while celery seed adds a touch of sweetness and earthiness. Chive adds a fresh and herbaceous note, while the various forms of garlic contribute to the blend's strong garlic flavor. Onion adds a sweet and savory note that complements the other ingredients in the blend.
 
Fermented garlic, also known as black garlic, is a type of garlic that has been aged for several weeks in a low-heat, high-humidity environment. This process results in a sweet and savory flavor that is less pungent than fresh garlic. Fermented garlic is often used in Asian cuisine and is gaining popularity in the West for its unique flavor and health benefits.
