Elephant Garlic (SEED)

Elephant Garlic - Giant Cloves, Mild Flavor

Description: Elephant Garlic is a unique allium that stands out for its enormous size and mild, subtle flavor. Despite its name, Elephant Garlic is more closely related to leeks than to true garlic, offering a gentle garlic-like taste that is perfect for those who prefer a less pungent flavor in their dishes.

Key Features:

• Variety: Allium ampeloprasum (not true garlic, but a relative of leeks)
• Flavor: Mild, slightly sweet with a hint of garlic; lacks the sharpness of regular garlic.
• Clove Count: Each bulb typically contains 4-6 very large cloves, making it easy to use and prepare.
• Aroma: Gentle, with a mild garlic scent that’s less intense than regular garlic.
• Best For: Ideal for roasting, grilling, and as a milder substitute for regular garlic in recipes. Great for making garlic-infused oils or for use in dishes where a delicate garlic flavor is desired.
• Size: Elephant Garlic bulbs are massive, often reaching the size of a baseball, with cloves that are much larger than those of traditional garlic.
• Storage: Stores well in a cool, dry place for up to 3-5 months.

Why Choose Elephant Garlic? Elephant Garlic is perfect for those who enjoy the flavor of garlic but prefer a milder, less pungent taste. Its large cloves are easy to peel and prepare, making it a convenient option for home cooks and chefs alike. Whether you’re roasting it whole to bring out its natural sweetness or using it in salads, soups, or sauces, Elephant Garlic adds a unique, gentle flavor to any dish.
