When we focus on the Pedroñeras purple garlic, we must say that this variety is the most appreciated by farmers and dealers in Spain and, specially, by farmers in La Mancha Baja area. In 1988 garlic grown in this land was described as the favourite purple garlic since it is provided with some special characteristics just like large head size, large cloves even in non-high quality garlic heads.

Its resistance capacity to manufacturing process in the factory spot is remarkable, even though garlic is a vegetable likely to be damaged all through the after-harvest process, because of its high water composition. Garlic is sowed into the ground by digging a dug mechanically or by hand.

Climate and the soil must be taken into consideration, because later they depend on harvesting and preserving in storage. After harvesting, manufacturing is carried out. By manufacturing garlic is split up into two groups: bulbs for consumption and bulbs for seeding.
