Strings of garlic bulbs are for sale in an open-air street market in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Stringing and hanging up the bulbs for exposure to the air is a traditional way to dry the garlic after harvest from underground without losing the moisture in the individual garlic cloves that are enclosed in their own papery skins. Garlic is a bulbous herb (Allium sativum) used worldwide as a pungent flavoring in cooking. Strings of garlic are sometimes hung for decoration or for good luck in homes and businesses, especially restaurants.
