Description
This stamp highlights garlic, a pillar ingredient of Tunisian gastronomy and an ancestral folk remedy. The illustration divides the visual in two: on the right, a detailed botanical plate showing the bulb and the inflorescence; on the left, a scenario showing braids of dried garlic, ready for winter storage. This visual celebrates the importance of garlic in local agriculture and its protective role in traditional pharmacopoeia, where it is often used as a natural antiseptic.
