I recently found out that garlic is listed in the Red Book, now I do not know if it is possible to eat it.

It's about to hit the markets. freshberry. This plant is a vitamin bomb, indispensable after a long winter. However, recently I learned that the garlic is listed in the Red Book of Ukraine. What is the status of the plant, can it be sold and what to prepare from it? You will learn all this in today’s article.



Recently, I learned that garlic is listed in the Red Book of Ukraine. About it in social networks told the famous Ukrainian chef Evgeny Klopotenko. Does this mean that the plant cannot be bought and eaten? Let's figure it out!

The Red Book of Ukraine is an official state document. It contains a huge number of plant and animal species that are on the verge of extinction. Therefore, they must be guarded with special vigilance.



However, not all flora and fauna from the Red Book are rare. To understand what kind a plant belongs to, you need to look at its status in the document. There are several categories into which plants and animals are divided: vulnerable, endangered, under-known, undervalued and rare.

Scarlet has rankless. It is attributed to species that can be attributed to one of the above categories, but due to the lack of complete reliable information, the solution to this issue remains uncertain.

So it turns out that the question with the use of garlic is in limbo. But I suggest you be clear. What matters is where the garlic comes from on your table. It is often sold in huge quantities in spontaneous food markets. And it is not always clear whether the sellers grew the plant themselves.



In 2018, one Ukrainian TV service drew public attention to this problem: “Spring garlic is illegally cut in the forests.” In fact, this is what can cause a change in the status of the plant in the Red Book.

If you cut garlic in the wrong places, rather than growing it yourself, sooner or later it can disappear as a species. To avoid this, the plant can be grown on its own. Buying seeds isn't a problem. In addition, garlic is unpretentious in the care.



Buying a plant in the market, be sure to ask where the seller or seller got it. Of course, no one would admit that they did it in the woods. However, you can turn on your intuition and play the trust game. Or maybe you just have a salesperson you trust. Then you don't have to guess!

Benefits of barley: how to prepare the plant Cheremsh has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system of the body and gastrointestinal tract. It contains a huge amount of vitamin C, B1, B3, B6, B9, A, E, PP, as well as iron, potassium, calcium, fluorine, sulfur, manganese, selenium, copper, iodine and zinc. No wonder it is eaten in large quantities after winter, when many are faced with vitamin deficiency.

This green is often used in folk medicine. For example, once it was used to cure scurvy. From the plant make tinctures and juice, as well as home care masks for the face. In the latter case, we recommend testing the product on the hand to see if it causes an allergic reaction.



But most of the time they buy garlic to cook it. There are a lot of dishes with this green. It can be fried, stewed and cooked, as well as baked in cakes or pies. We suggest you cook it out of it. cream-soup. Fresh garlic is the best fit for this!
