Chesnok Red Garlic
This garlic is a Purple Stripe type.
You may be wonder where the ‘red’ in the name of this garlic comes from. Me too! Last year there was a little bit of red in the cloves, but this year they look mostly white to me.
This garlic comes from the former Soviet republic of Georgia. Did I mention how much I like the garlics from Georgia? This is really another very high quality garlic from there. The bulbs are always a bit small, even the planting stock I originally got was small. The cloves are a reasonable size for cooking with, and the plants are productive, so the small bulb size is not very important in my opinion. In fact I think the small bulbs are very attractive and practical in their own way. These bulbs store well, and the taste is very good.
