About our Garlic types:

Yugoslavian (left) and Red Russian (right). Click to enlarge

Red Russian
Known for it's distinct purple tinge this is probably the most common, and arguably the most loved garlic type. RR has a strong flavour that Kathy describes as "feels like it tries to burn a hole in your tongue with the first bite (of raw garlic)". For a garlic lover this is definitely a go to! For restaurants and chefs it's popular because of it's big cloves and therefore less work to get more usuable garlic in less time. Usually 5 to 6 cloves per bulb and 5 to 6 bulbs per pound of the large, extra large may be 4 to 5 bulbs per pound.

Yugoslavian
Kathy describes this mostly white coloured garlic as "a great and fairly strong taste with a lingering flavour that hangs around in your mouth longer (of raw garlic)". Another type that is a garlic lover go to! For restaurants and chefs it's popular for spreads like Humous because the flavour carries evenly and longer. Also usually 5 to 6 cloves per bulb but slightly smaller cloves then the RR and about 7 bulbs per pound of the large, extra large maybe 5 to 6 bulbs per pound.

Not sure which one to get?
We have a variety pack which is half a pound of each; Red Russian and Yugoslavian in a tube. Try and compare! These are $12 each and are minimum of one pound each.

Garlic Scape Seasoning
This garlic scape seasoning is literally a "Good on Everything" powder. It is $10 for a 4 oz spice shaker bottle. It contains garlic scape powder, sea salt, and a touch of chili pepper.
