Purple Stripe Garlic for Eating – Certified Organic:

Not sure what variety to buy?  Try our variety pack and we will put together a good selection of some of our most popular Purple Stripe Garlics for eating.

You can make some delicious baked dishes with this hardneck garlic variety. With unique bright purple streaks on their thin skins, the Purple Stripes come in a number of varieties. Named after its intense purple stripes and spots on clove sheath and bulb covers the Purple Stripes look incredibly appealing. Due to an outstanding flavor, this garlic variety generally wins the ‘best baked garlic’ taste tests carried out by Martha Stewart, Sunset Magazine, and Rodale etc.

As majority of the Purple Stripe strains develop 8 to 12, tall and arc shaped cloves on each bulb (higher than Rocambole), the clove size is somewhat smaller. However, they have loose skin that can be easily peeled, just like the Rocambole. Although they have a tad longer shelf life than the Rocambole, their skin is quite similar to the Rocambole – loose and peels off easily. The Purple Stripes store well for around six months.
