Garlic, like shallots and onions, is a member of the allium family and is a species within the allium genus. Garlic is one of the most popular vegetables used to season in cooking. Studies have shown there are many benefits to adding garlic to your dishes. It is said to lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation, help lower cholesterol, support immune function and may reduce blood clotting. Garlic is easy to grow and is a great addition to your edible garden. Rocambole garlic (allium sativum var. ophioscorodon) is another distinct variety of garlic known for its rich and complex flavor. Like porcelain garlic, rocambole garlic is a hardneck variety. It is appreciated by garlic enthusiasts and chefs for its unique taste and culinary qualities. The taste is often described as spicy, pungent, and earthy, delivering a more complex and nuanced taste. A typical bulb consists of 6-7 medium size cloves. The curly scape (flower stalk) can be used in cooking. Rocambole garlic is less cold hardy than porcelain garlic and performs better in milder climates. It is a popular choice due to its flavor and for those who enjoy exploring different garlic varieties. The garlic bulbs we ship are usually on average between 1-1.5" in diameter, which by industry standards weigh approximately 12-16 bulbs per pound.Ships to 48 contiguous US states, plus the District of Columbia, with the exception of IDAHO
