About Pickled garlic

Pickled garlic consists of garlic cloves preserved in vinegar or another acidic brine, sometimes with salt, sugar, or spices. The cloves may be peeled or left in their skins and range in colour from ivory to pale yellow or, with some preparations, darker tones. Their texture can be crisp or softened, and the flavour is tangy with a milder garlic pungency than raw cloves.

It is used as a condiment, garnish, or ingredient in savoury foods. Commercial jars may contain whole cloves in brine, while homemade versions vary in acidity, seasoning, and processing. The edible cloves and their packing liquid are separate forms for serving and measurement, and pickled garlic should not be treated as raw garlic.
