How to choose the right grade
Selling whole bulbs to retailers or mandis: look at the larger grades such as Bom, S.Kumar and Laddu.
Peeling, paste or powder: smaller grades such as Extra Medium, Pearl or Datra are usually the better fit.
Always ask how the garlic is sorted and what the wastage is. Our Datra grades are hand sorted with 5-10% wastage.
