De Candole in his Origin of
Cultivated Plants, places garlic as
a native to the Kagiz Desert region
of Siberia. Nomadic tribes brought
it to Asia Minor and probably
China. From there it reportedly
went to India. Egypt was probably
the next stop after which it made
its way to Europe. Marco Polo
figured into this migration of the
herb as probably did the Crusades.

Israelite slaves upon fleeing Egypt

manna. They wept saying, "We remember
the fish which we were wont to eat
in Egypt for naught, the cucumbers
and the melons, and the leeks, onions
and garlic." (Numbers 11:5)
Mohammed recommended garlic in
cases of stings and bites of wild
animals.
