Wild Garlic

Wild garlic, as one of the oldest medicinal plants in Europe, was consumed as long ago as the Mesolithic period (Middle of Stone Age). Shortly before the plant flowers, its leaves are particularly rich in active phytochemicals. They contain particularly high levels of vitamin C and beta carotene, vitamin B1 and B6, trace elements (iron), secondary phytochemicals, particularly chlorophyll and minerals (potassium, manganese, calcium and phosphorus) with sulfur compounds such as the sulfur-containing amino acid allin.
