Xibali garlic

Garlic is a cash crop, and the prestigious garlic is produced in Xibali Township, Huailai County, commonly known as "Xibali Garlic". Xibali garlic is not only famous in Zhangjiakou, Beijing and Inner Mongolia, but also sold by experts in Japan, Canada and the United States. Xibali garlic is a purple-skinned garlic with clear meat and spicy juice. It is not only an indispensable condiment for family life, but also has special medical value. It contains antibacterial substances such as allicin, which can resist more than ten kinds of harmful bacteria. Li Shizhen, a famous medical scientist in ancient China, recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that garlic with purple skin has the functions of dispersing pain and swelling, eliminating pathogenic wind, removing toxic gas, expelling wind and dampness, treating tinea scar, strengthening spleen and stomach, treating kidney qi, stopping cholera and relieving plague. It is impossible to verify when Xibali garlic originated. According to the memories of the local elderly, garlic has been a traditional cash crop in Xibali Township since the Ming Dynasty moved to the village. Because its growth period is only more than 100 days, and it can be replanted with other crops, which does not affect the yield of the second crop and has high economic benefits. Nowadays, with the increasing output of garlic and the patent of "multi-effect delicious garlic paste", garlic is processed into delicious garlic paste and put on the market, which is welcomed by customers in Zhangjiakou, Beijing and other places.
