Chopped Bear’s Garlic TERRE EXOTIQUE

Previously, it was believed that bear’s garlic (Latin: Allium ursinum) possesses magical properties, protecting unborn children. This plant is often referred to by names of animals that feed on it early in spring: Germans call it Bärlauch – bear’s garlic, while the Dutch call it Daslook – badger garlic.

Bear’s garlic grows in forests and damp riverbanks. It reaches about 50 cm in height and produces white flowers when in bloom. One of the main features of this plant is its strong garlic scent, which is released when rubbing the leaves.

Bear’s garlic is an early spring plant, with leaves emerging in February-March and blooming from April to June. The leaves are harvested when the first flowers appear. These leaves are widely used in Asian and European cuisines as an early spring green or seasoning. They have a strong and subtle flavor with sharp and slightly sweet notes. Wild garlic is perfect for meat, fish, or vegetable dishes.
