Allium Hookeri Roots and Leaf (Hooker chives)

Description

Allium Hookeri, locally loved across Northeast India, is a highly aromatic medicinal herb known for both its tender green leaves and flavor-packed roots.

The leaves are long, flat, and deep green, resembling garlic chives but with a stronger, earthy aroma. They add a mild garlic-onion flavor to stir-fries, chutneys, soups, and traditional meat dishes.

The roots are thicker and fibrous, with an intense pungent taste similar to a mix of garlic and leek. They are widely used in pickles, fermented preparations, and herbal remedies.

Rich in antioxidants and sulfur compounds, Allium Hookeri is valued for supporting digestion, immunity, and overall wellness. It’s not just a herb — it’s a bold, traditional flavor deeply rooted in Northeast cuisine. 🌿
