What Makes Green Garlic Different from Regular Garlic? 

Green garlic is essentially young garlic that is harvested before the bulbs fully mature. Unlike regular garlic, which has fully formed, mature cloves, it features tender, slender stalks and small, undeveloped bulbs. It also has a milder, fresher flavor compared to the stronger taste of mature garlic, as well as a subtle sweetness and less pungency.
