Wild Garlic (Dried) is Wild Garlic that has been dried to keep. It does the same job as the fresh herb. It is ground into a Wild Garlic Poultice that fights infection.
Fresh Wild Garlic spoils within days. The dried form keeps, so it builds a store of infection treatment for later. A survivor with the Herbalist trait can stock up during the growing months. Poultices can then be made all through winter.
Most dried garlic comes from drying fresh Wild Garlic. Survivor safehouses sometimes hold a little already dried. The Doctor is the best occupation for first aid. It starts with the most First Aid skill. The Nurse and the Park Ranger also start with some First Aid skill.
How to Use Wild Garlic (Dried)
The Grind Up Wild Garlic recipe accepts dried and fresh Wild Garlic alike. Five pieces make one Wild Garlic Poultice. A Mortar and Pestle or a Ceramic Mortar and Pestle is needed and is kept. The poultice is then applied through the Wild Garlic Poultice option on the health panel.
Dried and fresh pieces can be mixed in the same batch. That lets a few dried bulbs top up a short fresh harvest.
In cooking the dried herb counts as a spice, just like the fresh one. It adds flavour to soups, stews, salads, pasta and many other dishes without using up an ingredient place. It can also be eaten as a tiny snack.

Locations
Dried Wild Garlic is a rare find. Medicine cabinets in mid game survivor safehouses are the likeliest spot. Counters and medicine cabinets in later safehouses hold it only now and then. Drying fresh Wild Garlic from foraging or a garden is far more reliable.
