Garlics Natural Pharmaceutical Treasure Chest Known for 3500 years around the world for its healing as well as preventative properties, garlic is today being rediscovered by scientists; at last count, researchers have found that garlic contains over 400 different health-enhancing chemical components and compounds, a veritable all-natural pharmaceutical treasure chest. The breakdown of allicin in garlic releases the majority of the many chemical components of garlic, particularly by crushing or chewing raw garlic. Powerful sulfur compounds in garlic kill and inhibit an astounding assortment of bacteria, viruses, fungi, mold, parasites and worms, frequently on contact. They also work within the bodies vital systems, such as the circulatory, digestive, immunological, to promote detoxification, cleansing, lowering blood pressure, strengthening the immune system and healing. All in all, garlic helps promote good health.

rojaSPANISH ROJA
It has a mild yet full-bodied, rich garlicky flavor. The best known and loved hard neck in America today. The large, flat bottomed, purple streaked bulbs often reach three inches in diameter and typically have eight to twelve large tan cloves. It peels easily and stores up to 4-6 months. The outer bulb wrappers are thin and flake off easily so it is not the best storage type, but no Rocambole is. This heirloom garlic, came to the Portland, Oregon area over a hundred years ago. It is generally a vigorous grower with large foliage that is dark green. Flavor is very strong, hot and spicy and sticks around for a long time. It has been described as the most piquant garlic in the world. From a growers perspective, it grows well in cold winter areas, but does poorly in warm winter areas. $18 a pound

crystalCRYSTAL INSPIRATION
Good flavor, smooth and zesty. We’ve been growing it for many years and have enjoyed its consistent yields and size. A porcelain hard-neck variety that is very hardy, its satiny white bulb wrappers cover 6-8 fat cloves, with brown skins slightly tinged with red. It has a nice robust flavor that’s a little hot. Stores well until April. Originates in the Republic of Georgia between the Black Sea and the Aral Sea. Crystal is listed in the Seeds of Diversity Canada catalogue of heritage varieties as endangered and hard to find. The Crystal Inspiration, is about 4-6 heads to the pound, with an average of 6 large cloves per head. $18 a pound

Mid-season. A vivid, royal purple tinged with shiny gold and or silver hues makes this one of the most attractive garlics. As a sub-variety of Purple Stripe, a group known for being the “best baked garlic”, Purple Glazer has a strong lasting flavor, but not hot and no aftertaste. Very easy to peel.

inchiliumINCHELIUM RED
From Inchelium, WA, on the Colville Indian Reservation. The bulbs are large – to 3+ inches in diameter. 8-20 cloves of good size. Mild, but lasting, flavor, with a hint of hot! Dense cloves store well. Flavor can get stronger in storage. This vigorous soft-necked variety won a Rodale taste test of 20 garlic strains – named ” Very Best of the Soft-Necks.” Inchileum, is a soft neck so the cloves are smaller and have multiple layers of cloves. There are about 8 heads per pound and 8 to 10 large cloves per head with several smaller cloves in the center of the head that I don’t usually plant, I just eat the small ones. $18 a pound.

muMUSIC
Mid-season. Music hits the top of the charts when it comes to yields. Music out-produced all others with a harvest of over 13,500 pounds per acre! White skinned with just a blush of pink, this garlic makes big cloves that are easy to peel. The taste is a medium hot, true garlic flavor that lasts for a long time. Music will store 9 months to a year. Very cold tolerant. $18 a pound, limited amounts

Chesnok Red can become a rather large garlic with excellent growing conditions. Large bulbs will have about 8 to 10 cloves arranged in a circular pattern. Cloves are easy to peel. It is a full flavored garlic with a mellow aftertaste that sticks around nicely for a while. The sweetest roasting garlic of them all; It doesn’t just taste not garlicky, it actually tastes sweet.
