Chinese Garlic Origin: It originated in West and Central Asia. It has a history of more than 2,000 years since Zhang Qian sent to the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty to bring garlic back to China and settle down.
China is the world's leading garlic producer, consumer and exporter. Because the Chinese people have the habit of eating garlic, garlic cultivation is very common among farmers, and the origin of garlic is all over the country. In today's fierce international market competition, China's garlic industry has achieved hard-won results. The sustainable, healthy and stable development of garlic industry is of great significance.
In 2012, China's garlic output was about 1.75 million tons, and its export volume was 310,000 tons, ranking first in the world. China exports garlic to more than 120 countries and regions, mainly to the European Union and Japan.

In recent years, garlic industry in China has developed rapidly, and garlic industry in Shandong, Jiangsu, Henan, Hebei, Yunnan, Sichuan and other provinces has become a pillar industry. However, most of the export products are raw materials and bulk garlic, with low technology content and low added value.

In December 2016, China exported 127,400 tons of fresh and refrigerated garlic, amounting to US$271 million, an increase of 19.61% over the previous year.
The Health effects of Fresh Garlic:
Anticancer
Foreign studies have found that sulfur compounds in garlic can promote intestinal production of an enzyme or a substance called allicin. By enhancing the immune capacity of the body, blocking the formation of lipid peroxidation and anti-mutation, the risk of intestinal tumors caused by substances in the intestine can be eliminated. However, it is not clear how many such enzymes need to be produced in order to effectively play the anti-cancer role of garlic.
Anti-aging effect
