Elephant Garlic

Big but Biteless

(1 customer reviews)

Impressive size! Elephant looks like garlic and tastes like a mild hardneck type, but it is actually a type of leek. Plump 1 1/2-in. cloves have delicious, mild garliclike flavor; bulbs commonly weigh a pound or more. Very easy peeling and keeps very well. Each bulb averages 10 cloves.

We have several in the flower beds and a few will bloom mid June. Love it and eat it year round. Try slicing a few and put in a jar with your olives.
