Russian Red Certified Organic Garlic

Description

Russian Red Certified Organic Garlic

There are a variety of garlic strains that are called Russian Red and can be either Rocambole or Purple Stripes.  Our Rocamboles failed this year, so we have nice sized Purple Stripe for 2022

• Hardneck Garlic
• Rocambole or Purple Stripe
• 8-10 Med/Large Cloves/Bulb
• Robust & very hardy
• Grows well in Northern States
• Double cloves common
• Grown for its wonderful classic garlic flavor that only this rare heirloom provides
• Large impressive bulbs for great market appeal
• Garlic flavor: Sets the standard for true garlic flavor that is strong, medium/hot, and great roasted, sautéed, or raw.
• There are a variety of Russian Reds that are Rocambole or Purple Stripes.  Our Rocamboles failed this year, so we have nice sized Purple Stripe for 2022
• Storage: Rocamboles don’t store as long as other garlic varieties.  As a result, this should be planted around October 15th as we will not be able to provide a refund or exchange after that date because rocamboles can start to naturally deteriorate by then due to the fact that they don’t have a tight wrapper around the cloves.   It is still a must have as a part of your garlic collection, because the taste is phenomenal! Just eat first!

Note: Garlic is an agricultural crop that is subject to crop loss due to conditions beyond our control. This can even occur in the curing stage. We check each bulb before shipping them to you, so if there are any quality issues, we may need to substitute. We rarely need to do this, but it does happen. If it is necessary, we will substitute with a similar garlic, but if you have any comments on this please fill out the comment section like a back up garlic or no substitutions. We still want to get you some great garlic, so please choose how you would like us to proceed with your order if the item you ordered is not available. We do set aside some great garlic in case we do have to substitute garlic!
