Siberian (Marbled)
Savor the flavor of this large bulb from Siberia and Alaska. When raw, it has a medium to strong, hot-and-spicy flavor; however, when cooked, the flavor is mild. This garlic is good in stir-fry recipes as well as for dips, sauces, and soups. It has five to eight easy-to-peel cloves and a high concentration of allicin (a pungent oily liquid with antibacterial properties unique to garlic). It can be stored up to six months if cured properly.
Russian Red (Purple Stripe)
A strong garlic flavor and a sweet aftertaste makes this combination of Rocambole and Marble Purple Stripe unique. It has 6 to 8 cloves and was introduced to America by Russian Doukhobor immigrants in the 1900s.
Italian Purple (Purple Stripe)
Indulge in the lingering heat of this rich and flavorful tasting garlic from Italy. Each bulb has 8 to 10 cloves. Enjoy it right away as this bulb can only be stored for a short period of time.
