ELEPHANT Garlic – 3, 6 or 10 Clove Packs

Description

Elephant garlic, Allium ampeloprasum var. ampeloprasum, looks and tastes like garlic but is actually more closely related to leeks. It’s sometimes confused with colossal garlic, but this is actually an oversized bulb of regular garlic, Allium sativum. Elephant garlic bears larger bulbs than regular garlic, which have a delicious mild flavour, suitable for using in soups and stews, and they’re perfect for roasting.

Just like regular garlic, elephant garlic is planted in autumn or spring, as single cloves. These develop into a large bulb which, if it has a long enough growing season, splits into individual cloves.

Elephant garlic can grow, with adequate water, to 150mm across and weigh over a kilo. Occurring in the wild in parts of Western Europe and in the UK along the Cornish coast. Roast it and impress your friends. It has a warm mild garlic flavour but is increasingly popular with those who like to make a statement in their cooking.
