Garlic is grown in many regions across the country, and thanks to the diversity in soil, weather, and cultivation methods, Vietnamese garlic comes in a wide range of shapes, flavors, and quality levels. Not only is Vietnamese garlic well-known domestically, but it has also gained popularity in international markets. Let\u2019s explore and learn how to distinguish the most common types of garlic grown in Vietnam!<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"646\" data-end=\"667\">L\u00fd S\u01a1n Garlic<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"669\" data-end=\"939\">If you&#8217;re Vietnamese, you&#8217;ve surely heard of <strong data-start=\"714\" data-end=\"731\">L\u00fd S\u01a1n garlic<\/strong>, a specialty from the famous L\u00fd S\u01a1n island. This garlic is known for its rich, pungent aroma and flavor, which comes from the island\u2019s unique volcanic soil, formed from lava eruptions thousands of years ago.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"941\" data-end=\"982\"><strong>L\u00fd S\u01a1n garlic comes in three types:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"985\" data-end=\"1206\"><strong data-start=\"985\" data-end=\"1003\">Regular garlic<\/strong>: Contains many small cloves, each smaller than a pinky fingertip\u2014some as tiny as a chopstick tip. The bulbs are small, just a bit bigger than a calamansi (tiny lime), and wrapped in bright white skin.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1209\" data-end=\"1425\"><strong data-start=\"1209\" data-end=\"1231\">Three-clove garlic<\/strong>: As the name suggests, each bulb has only three large cloves, each about the size of a thumb\u2014very easy to peel. These bulbs have a yellowish tint and are commonly used for soaking in alcohol.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1428\" data-end=\"1737\"><strong data-start=\"1428\" data-end=\"1491\">Solo garlic (also known as single clove or &#8220;lonely garlic&#8221;)<\/strong>: A very memorable name! It\u2019s called so because each bulb contains just <strong data-start=\"1563\" data-end=\"1589\">one large, round clove<\/strong>. This type is popular among homemakers for its ease of use and rich aroma. It\u2019s rarer than the other types in L\u00fd S\u01a1n and thus often more expensive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-32283 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/kimmyfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/toi-ly-son-1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"676\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kimmyfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/toi-ly-son-1.webp 676w, https:\/\/kimmyfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/toi-ly-son-1-250x141.webp 250w, https:\/\/kimmyfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/toi-ly-son-1-150x84.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1744\" data-end=\"1768\">Phan Rang Garlic<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1770\" data-end=\"2122\">Grown in <strong data-start=\"1779\" data-end=\"1792\">Phan Rang<\/strong> (Ninh Thu\u1eadn province), this garlic is famous for its <strong data-start=\"1846\" data-end=\"1872\">spicy and strong smell<\/strong>, making it perfect for those who enjoy raw garlic. Due to the hot, dry climate year-round, the garlic cloves here are small, dry, and tightly packed.
