Sincerely ask for advice What is the difference between garlic sprouts and garlic moss and garlic yellow?

Garlic seedlings are tender parts of garlic after germination, including fresh parts of garlic leaves and stems. I remember when I was a child, adults pulled garlic cloves and soaked them in water with string. Soon, fresh garlic seedlings will be eaten.

Scalded garlic leaves

Garlic yellow is actually a kind of garlic seedling. Because garlic itself is rich in nutrition, garlic seedlings can grow and sprout even in dark places. However, under dark conditions, garlic seedlings cannot synthesize chlorophyll, which is also the reason why garlic yellow is tender yellow.

Garlic stalk

Although garlic seedlings are also grown from garlic, they are neither stems nor leaves of garlic. When garlic is ripe, it will grow a cylindrical flower stem from the middle of the plant. This flower stem is what people call young garlic shoots.

What kind of nutrition is more or less?

In fact, the contents of most nutrients in garlic seedlings, garlic yellow and garlic bolts are similar. However, the insoluble fiber content of garlic bolt is higher (2.5g/ 100g), which is more than twice that of garlic yellow and garlic sprout, and also higher than that of most plant foods. In addition, the carotene content of garlic bolt is not low (480μg/ 100g), which is 7 1% higher than that of garlic sprout and garlic yellow, and about 70% of that of carrot.

Leek hotbed

The appearance of leek and garlic is so similar that some people even regard them as one thing and think that they are just different names. Leek yellow is actually leek sprouting and growing in the dark. Garlic yellow is sprouted and grown by garlic.

They look similar because they are related to each other. According to family, genus and species, they are all plants of Liliaceae and Allium, but the species are different. Garlic is a garlic variety, and leek is a leek variety.

How small is this difference? This is almost the genetic difference between wolves and dogs. In terms of nutritional components, the difference between garlic yellow and leek yellow is even smaller than that of garlic seedlings born from the same root.

How to distinguish

From the appearance, leek leaves are more like leeks, about 20 cm at most, and the stems and leaves are messy, so it is difficult to bundle them for sale. However, the leaves of garlic are thicker and the stems are round, which can grow to 40 to 50 centimeters. They are neatly arranged and can be tied. In taste, leek is fragrant, garlic is heavier and more like garlic.
