Asiatics

Asian Tempest 1 Pound Limit

Appropriately named as it is very hot when eaten raw. Bakes, sweetly. From South Korea originally.  And, it’s an eye-catcher with it’s purplish striping, sometimes fading into solid purple color on the bulb skins.  Very strong growth in the field, harvest early, just after Turbans. Has the longest ‘beaks’ of any variety we grow, with 8-10 fat single layer of cloves. Prized variety. Stores 4 months.

Turbans

Xian 1 Pound Limit

The first garlic we harvest each year, sometimes 2 weeks ahead of  others.  Showy, reddish brown, somewhat flattened bulbs, with nice fat purplish cloves. Nice and hot, but not as hot as Asian Tempest. A top favorite of Chester Aaron, Author of “The Great Garlic Book” and a top pick for us as well. Great for early market. Bulbs have an average of 8 cloves. Stores 3 months.
