Elephant Garlic – Spring Planting Garlic Cloves

Elephant Garlic – Naturally Grown Garlic Cloves for SPRING PLANTING

SHIPS IN SPRING MARCH – APRIL, Click here for Fall Planted Elephant Garlic.

Although not a true garlic, we love elephant garlic!  Elephant garlic is in the leek family although in many aspects it appears like a garlic.  The cloves grow to jumbo size, and are easy to cut up in the kitchen.  It has a mild flavor compared to garlic and is easier on the digestive system.  Many who can’t eat garlic, can eat elephant garlic due to it’s mellow flavor.  We love cutting up elephant garlic and adding to our dishes.  The texture is amazing with a great crunch when not over cooked.  It adds an onion/garlic flavor to any dish that is also delightful roasted. Elephant Garlic – Spring Planting Cloves ship starting in March.
