It is the sprout in the center of each garlic clove. When the garlic is young and fresh, the germ is tiny and pale in color. As garlic ages, the germ grows, turn green, and becomes bitter and is hard to digest.
Why get rid of it?
When using raw garlic, it is a good idea to remove the germ for two reasons:
1. it is bitter.
2. it is hard to digest.
How to Remove the Germ
It's simple. Peel the garlic clove. Cut the clove in half, lengthwise. Pull the germ out from the center of the clove with your fingers, or use the tip of a knife to lift it out.
