Our Produce

Certified Organic Giant Russian Garlic

Giant Russian Garlic also known as Elephant Garlic looks like a larger version of regular garlic, with each bulb featuring four to six golden brown/white cloves that may be as big, in some cases, as one whole bulb of typical garlic. The size of the cloves means less fiddling around and a greater range of uses in the kitchen. Customers favourite uses include roasting, sautéing, grating raw into salads, adding to stir-fry’s, pasta and guacamole.

  Health Benefits
Studies have shown a large range of health benefits can be experienced through the regular consumption of Garlic. Decreasing the risk of heart disease, certain types of cancer, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and improving the health of your digestive system, just to mention a few.

  Flavour Profile
Its locally agreed here in the Macleay Valley on the Mid North Coast of NSW that our Giant Russian Garlic has a little more punch than varieties grown elsewhere. Having said that it is not a direct substitute for your hard neck varieties. If you love strong blow your socks off Garlic, then Giant Russian is not for you. If, however you enjoy a milder garlic flavour with a hint of onion and leek with a slightly sweet finish then you’ve come to the right place. What the Giant Russian variety lacks in strength it makes up for with its versatility. Give it a go! You may be pleasantly surprised!

  Storage Suggestions
Giant Russian Garlic does store a lot longer than many other varieties. Though direct sunlight along with excessive heat or moisture will shorten its shelf life. Best bet is to store your garlic in a cool dry location, such as a dark pantry or cupboard. A wire onion basket on the Kitchen bench at home does us.
