Organic Elephant Garlic (lb)

Elephant Garlic brings instant fun to the garden with broad leaves, oversized bulbs and jumbo cloves that are wonderfully easy to handle. It is actually a leek relative, and its gentle flavor makes it especially appealing to cooks who find true garlic a little sharp.

Roast the enormous cloves until creamy, slice them into gratins or grill them alongside vegetables. Their mild garlic-onion flavor also slips beautifully into soups, stews and soft purées.

Give each clove extra room in a deep, fertile, sunny bed. Ease back on water as the lower leaves brown, then lift around early summer and cure in generous airflow.
