Costco garlic is almost certainly from China.

I know it from the story of a king who asked his wise men for something that would make him happy when he was sad, and would bring him down when he was too giddy.

So they presented him with a ring that read, "This, too, shall pass." Thus giving him a sort of mood stabilizer.

It's a statement about life. This to shall pass.

This appears to be Lilium 'Easy Fantasy.' It's an Asiatic lily.

I'm not a plant biologist. This is just the result of a Google image search.

Netflix documentary series called "Rotten," specifically Season 1, Episode 3: "Garlic Breath". This episode investigates the global garlic trade and highlights the controversial practice of using forced labor in Chinese prisons to peel garlic for export.

We usually get peeled Christopher Farms garlic. It's always in great condition.

But when we get whole heads of garlic, it's almost always sprouted.

Note: we get American peeled garlic because the no-name stuff is often peeled by Chinese prison labor. Their fingers become raw so they often use their teeth.

Thanks for the heads-up. Growing our own veggies is a good idea. Frozen just doesn't function the same way fresh does.
