Sources vary on this.

One source says that garlic is believed to have originated in West China, around the Tien Shan Mountains to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. From around 2000 BC, the Sumerians are thought to have brought garlic to China. From here, it then spread to Japan and Korea.

Another source pinpoints its origin to southwestern Siberia and Central Asia, and that it spread to southern Europe from there.
