Garlic in History and Culture. Garlic has ancient roots. The word garlic comes from Old English and means spear-leek. Both leeks and garlic come from the onion family (Alliaceae). The plant is thought to have originated in central Asia, used there since neolithic times. It was probably among the earliest of cultivated crops. It spread early, via trade routes, to become a staple flavoring throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Onions and garlic belong to the Allium genus. Allium, in fact, is derived from the Greek word for garlic. Shallots, leeks, and chives are also members of the allium family. Onions have been cultivated for thousands of years and originated in the Near East and Central Asia.heir flavor, sometimes described as a blend of sweet onion and garlic, make them a favorite of gourmet chefs. Leeks (Allium ampeloprasum var. porrum) are the largest member of the allium family and look like gigantic scallions. They may grow up to two feet long and two inches thick, and they do not form a bulb.
