Organic California Early White Garlic (lb)

California Early White is a friendly, no-fuss softneck with classic pale bulbs and an especially useful early finish. Layered cloves serve every kitchen task, while pliable stems can be braided and the vacated bed is ready for a warm-season follow-up crop.

The flavor is medium and familiar—bright enough for salsa or dressing, yet gentle and rounded in soups, sauces and roasted vegetables. Larger outer cloves are perfect for roasting; smaller ones make quick seasoning for stocks and marinades.

Set the cloves in a sunny fall bed with loose, fertile soil. Begin checking bulbs in early summer as the tops decline, then cure them in shade.
