VASTRADE d.o.o.

A bridge between Eastern tradition and European quality

Top-quality Chinese garlic for the European market. We specialize in the import and distribution of fresh and vacuum-packed garlic of the highest quality directly from the fertile provinces of China.

OUR STORY

From field to shelf

It all started with a simple question: How can we bring the world’s best garlic to European tables without sacrificing its natural potency and freshness?

The Vastrade team traveled thousands of kilometers through the fertile provinces of China, where garlic cultivation is not just agriculture, but a thousand-year-old tradition. There, we found partners who share our passion for crop quality and respect for the land.

We realized that the journey of garlic from the Far East to Europe requires more than just transportation—it requires precision. That is why we developed a system that bridges distances from the moment the garlic is hand-picked to the moment it is safely vacuum-packed or freshly packed in our containers, followed by every step. Vastrade d.o.o. was born out of a desire to provide every kitchen, restaurant, and factory in the EU with raw materials that are exactly as they would be if they had just been picked from the ground: strong, aromatic, and flawless.

TRADITION AND QUALITY

Why Chinese garlic?

China is the historical home of garlic. For thousands of years, garlic has been not only a key spice in Chinese culture, but also a symbol of vitality. Above all, it represents a heritage that can be tasted.

In the heart of the Chinese provinces, where the soil is naturally rich in minerals, garlic develops its characteristic strength. Today, traditional farming methods are combined with state-of-the-art technology to ensure:

High allicin content

For an intense aroma and numerous medicinal properties.

Exceptional firmness

Ensuring longer shelf life and superior texture.

Ensuring the highest standards

At Vastrade, we only select growers who guarantee hand-picked bulbs and natural ripening. Our vacuum-packed garlic is processed in a strictly controlled environment immediately after peeling, which prevents oxidation and preserves all natural enzymes.

The healing power of nature

In addition to its exceptional taste, garlic is valued for its remarkable health benefits, which have been confirmed by modern research:

Natural antibiotic

The active compound allicin has antibacterial properties and strengthens the immune system.

Heart support

It helps regulate blood pressure and cholesterol.

Antioxidant effect

It protects cells from damage and reduces inflammation.

Natural detoxification

It supports the liver in removing toxins from the body.

Garlic, or Allium sativum in Latin, is not only used in cooking as a spice, but nowadays garlic also has numerous health benefits, such as improving the immune system, having positive effects on the cardiovascular system, acting as an antibacterial, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory agent, and much more. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans called it a “natural antibiotic,” and it is even considered the most powerful natural remedy, which we use today as a traditional “treatment” for many infections and viruses. In the modern world, its use is also supported by numerous scientific studies.

The most important health benefits are:
  1. Cholesterol regulation
  2. Antibacterial and antiviral properties
  3. Disease prevention
  4. Rich source of vitamins and minerals

Cholesterol: Eating raw garlic helps regulate cholesterol levels in the body. The substance that plays this role is called allicin, which also has antioxidant properties.

Antibacterial: Garlic is also an excellent bactericide, capable of eliminating parasites and strengthening immunity. Regular consumption of garlic helps eliminate toxins from the body, thereby improving immunity.

Disease prevention: Numerous studies have confirmed that garlic has a preventive effect against certain types of cancer.

Source of vitamins and minerals: Since some vitamins are lost during cooking, garlic should be consumed raw whenever possible.
