One member of this family is Elephant Garlic, a garlic variety with large bulbs that resemble those of an elephant. With its mild flavor and subtle aroma, it has become a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike. In ancient times, Alliaceae plants were highly valued for their medicinal properties. The renowned herbalist Leonhart Fuchs even documented the healing powers of Garlic - Allium sativum in his book De historia stirpium. The versatility extends beyond culinary uses. Some species like Bears garlic are found in the wild and have been used for centuries as natural remedies for various ailments. Onion, another member of this family, is not only harvested for its bulbs but also appreciated for its pungent taste that adds depth to countless dishes. In Shropshire, England, homegrown onions can be seen drying out on wire-covered wheelbarrows during August's harvest season. For garden enthusiasts seeking vibrant blooms, the Ornamental Onion Purple Sensation offers stunning flowers that add a pop of color to any landscape. These eye-catching blossoms can be admired in Dorset's gardens during May. Whether cut or whole, organic onions are always a popular choice among health-conscious individuals who appreciate their nutritional value and distinct flavor profiles. Rosy Garlic showcases delicate pink flowers against the backdrop of Montagne de la Clape in Aude region's Languedoc-Roussillon province in France during May—a true feast for the eyes.
