Flowers with about five or six lilac-colored petals. Tulbaghia violacea is a wild herb native to South Africa, where it’s used in traditional medicine.
Strong, slightly spicy garlic-like flavor, but milder. And best of all, it doesn’t repeat on you or leave bad breath like regular garlic does.
Perfect for cold dishes that don’t require cooking, like salads.
Can be infused in oil to extract its flavor. Also wonderful in meats, omelets, soups, and creamy dishes.
