ORIGIN
Allium belongs to a plant genus of the garlic family. The plants grow in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere and some species can grow up to 1.5 meters in length. With the Romans, the word allium was initially only used for garlic, but later it became the genus name for all garlic crops. Chives and leeks also belong to the genus.
