Difference between garlic and green garlic

Green garlic is a smaller version of garlic that is harvested before the garlic bulbs are fully developed. So, what you get are long green leaves with small white bulbs at the end. It is the green-colored stalks/leaves that are used to make this dish and other dishes not only in India but across Asia. While in regular garlic you get buds, green garlic has leaves which add freshness to any dish. Apart from this, green garlic looks like green onion but its bulbs are smaller than that, this slight difference makes these two different from each other.
