Elephant Certified Organic Garlic Bulbs

Elephant Garlic (Allium ampeloprasum) is technically more closely related to leeks than to true garlic — and that botanical distinction explains its most distinctive quality: the enormous cloves with mild, gentle, slightly onion-tinged flavor that’s far less pungent than standard garlic varieties. Four to six massive, easy-to-peel cloves per bulb make it one of the most practical garlics to work with in the kitchen — no tedious small-clove peeling, just a few huge cloves that deliver garlic character without heat or sharpness. Produces edible scapes in early summer. Stores exceptionally well. USDA-Certified Organic, matures in approximately 270 days, cold hardy in Zones 3–9.

More Leek Than Garlic — Mild, Gentle, Approachable Flavor

The mild flavor is the defining quality that makes Elephant Garlic unique among alliums. Where standard garlic is assertive and pungent — wonderful in its place but overwhelming when used raw or in large amounts — Elephant Garlic adds a gentle garlic-leek character that’s approachable for garlic-sensitive diners, excellent roasted whole where it becomes sweet and buttery, and outstanding sliced raw into salads where standard garlic would be too sharp. It’s the allium for dishes where subtle garlic presence is exactly what’s called for.

Enormous Easy-to-Peel Cloves — A Pleasure to Work With

Four to six massive cloves per bulb transform the kitchen experience of working with garlic. No more fumbling with dozens of tiny cloves — Elephant Garlic’s few enormous cloves peel easily and quickly, making the preparation practical even for large-batch cooking. The substantial size also makes them well-suited to slicing, roasting whole, and any preparation where garlic is a visible ingredient as well as a flavoring.

Edible Scapes in Early Summer — A Bonus Harvest

Like hardneck garlic varieties, Elephant Garlic produces curling scapes in early summer — harvest them before they fully unfurl for the most tender, flavorful result. Use them sliced into stir-fries, blended into pesto, or as a mild garlic-leek flavoring in any recipe where a gentle allium presence is welcome.
