Turban Garlic – Xian

Xian is a gorgeous heirloom variety that is as flavorful as it is beautiful. Its bulbs have beautifully contrasting purple stripes with around 9-12 wrapped cloves per head. Xian is in the Turban family, which is a sub-category of the Artichoke Family. Turbans tend to be the first out of the field. We highly recommend Xian for southern growers who need the early harvest to beat the summer heat. Bulbs may be smaller for northern growers.

Xian Naturally Grown Garlic Bulbs have a rich flavor that make it versatile in the kitchen. A great roasting garlic, but also has a slight heat that makes it tasty eaten raw.

Garlic in the Turban family does not store very long and should be eaten first. We recommend balancing the varieties you grow to include some longer storing garlics such as Softnecks and/or Purple Stripes so you have garlic to enjoy for many months.

We have a very limited quantity of this specialty variety this year.  For this reason, we cannot offer bulk discounts for Xian. Maybe more subject to Substitution if crop does not produce well.

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. If there are any quality issues, we may need to substitute a similar variety. We rarely need to do this, but it does occasionally happen. As always, we want to you to receive great garlic, so please leave a comment when ordering to let us know how you would like to proceed if a substitution is necessary.
