bih that’s a onion

Here is another mildy interesting fact, in Swedish we group onions and garlic together by using the word “lök” with a color and different spacing to differentiate them:

“lök” - onion

“gul lök” - onion or yellow onion

“röd lök” - red onion

“vitlök” - garlic

We never talk about “vit lök”, it doesn’t really exist as a concept in Swedish, but we have more types of “lök”…

“gräslök” directly translates to “grass onion”, but the proper translation is “chives”

“prujolök” is the Swedish name for “leek”

i love swedish. i drive an old volvo every day and frequently end up on weird SE-language forums as a result.

Garlic, onions, chives, and leeks (plus shallots, spring onions / scallions, and ramsons) are actually very closely related, being part of the same allium genus. That's the same level of closeness as dogs to wolves, for example

stoy ,

Very interesting, I did not know that!

HulkSmashBurgers ,

What about shallots?

stoy ,

That would be “schalottenlök”

Funny, in Norwegian hvitløk is talked about a great deal.

Do you mean to say there isn’t garlic in Sweden??

That’s garlic

TropicalDingdong ,

That’s not done yet. Garlic looks like this when it hasn’t ‘split’ into the clove parts yet. This will be bland and only have a mild flavor.

That makes sense, he was really undersized compared to the rest.

So some of the inner flesh toward the middle transforms into outer skin?

TropicalDingdong ,

So you’ve got two modes of reproduction with Allium. Allium like this typically follows a biennial habit, so this years garlic will split into cloves around the fall, in preparation for sending up a flowering stalk next spring/ summer. The cloves are vegetative propagules; just another way to get more garlic other than seeds. Hence you can just plant a clove and get a garlic next year, or, you can plant seed and also get garlic.

Now for your actually question, I believe the segmentation is probably exogenous, technically yes, however, I am by no means an expert in Allium morphology (although I have done graduate coarse work in plant morph, and worked in a plant morph lab), so don’t quote me. However, it wouldn’t appear like you are describing. Think of the ring at the base of a clove of garlic as a bunch of ‘stems’. The branching would originate there.

There’s a particular variety of Chinese garlic that grows as a singular bulb. It originates in the Yunnan province, I think. I remember my mother growing it back when I was a child. It’s really nice!

TropicalDingdong ,

All garlic looks like this if its been harvested too early.
