Allicin forms when garlic is crushed, releasing the compound that gives garlic its distinct aroma and pungency. It is a signature of fresh, high-quality garlic.

Why pungency matters

Pungency defines how garlic is used - from mild seasoning to bold, health-focused products. Buyers and processors often choose garlic by the strength and character of its flavor.

Pungency decides the right application.

Measuring garlic strength

Allicin and sulfur compounds are measured by lab analysis, while taste panels verify sensory character. Consistent readings let buyers select garlic for cooking, processing or health claims.

Variety and growing influence

Allium content varies with variety, soil, climate and harvest timing. Well-managed fields produce garlic with defined, dependable pungency that processors can count on.

Handling to preserve quality
