A perennial from bulblets that emits a strong garlic or onion smell when crushed. Primarily a weed of small grains, turfgrass and pastures. Wild garlic imparts a garlic-like flavor and odor on dairy and beef products when grazed. Additionally, small grains may become tainted with a garlic-like odor and/or flavor due to the presence of aerial bulblets at the time of harvest. Wild garlic is found throughout the eastern and central United States.
