About Elephant Organic Garlic

Elephant Organic Garlic – the colossal member of the allium family that brings a unique twist to your culinary endeavors. While more closely related to leeks than true garlic, Elephant Garlic shares similar growth habits with a few delightful distinctions.

Each bulb of our organically grown Elephant Garlic holds four to six enormous cloves, surpassing the size of regular garlic bulbs. These cloves, often weighing in at a pound or more, boast a mild garlic-like flavor that adds a delightful hint of pungency to your dishes. Peeling these cloves is a breeze, thanks to their easy-to-peel nature.

What sets Elephant Garlic apart is its exceptional storage capacity. Despite its giant size, the bulbs store very well, resembling the longevity of soft-neck garlic varieties. This makes it an ideal choice for market gardeners looking for a popular and profitable crop.

Growing Elephant Organic Garlic

Elephant Garlic thrives in colder climates and is known for its cold hardiness, making it a reliable addition to your garden. It typically matures in approximately 270 days, delivering a mild and impressive garlic harvest. With 3-4 large cloves per bulb, this unique allium not only brings an onion-like taste but also adds a touch of novelty to your culinary creations. Additionally, Elephant Garlic produces scapes in early summer, which can be harvested for an extra culinary treat.

Our garlic is USDA certified organic, meaning it’s grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. This ensures healthier, sustainable crops, supports biodiversity, and improves soil health, providing you with the highest quality produce for your garden and kitchen.

A half-pound set of garlic contains approximately 3-4 bulbs. Each bulb contains several cloves for planting. The actual quantity may vary depending on bulb size.
