Last year these sold out within hours (wowzer)... this year we've bumped up our crop numbers, so fingers crossed we have enough to go around!
Garlic - Elephant Massive, mild, sweet flavoured Garlic - Excellent for roasting with meat or roasting and eating as part of your side dishes.
In optimal conditions, these bulbs will get up to cricket ball in just one season. Elephant garlic lasts for months and months hanging in the kitchen.
It has great health benefits when you use it raw in salads, dressings, butter or sandwiches. It will form a seal naturally over any cuts, so just refrigerate any unused portion until next time. Elephant Garlic is high in plant sugar levels and will burn easily if fried at high temperatures, so add near the end of your cooking. Use finely chopped Elephant Garlic at the end of stir-fries.
Mmmmmmm!
