About Garlic Bulb (Hardneck) - Chesnok Red

Allium sativum

Seed Type Bulb
Plant Type Hardneck

Chesnok Red Garlic is a prized Purple Stripe hardneck variety celebrated for its rich, complex flavor and exceptional performance in the kitchen. Renowned as one of the very best garlics for roasting, it turns sweet, creamy, and aromatic when cooked, while remaining pleasantly flavorful when used raw in dips, dressings, and sauces. Beneath its creamy white outer wrappers lies a striking purple-blushed bulb with elegant cloves. Chesnok Red is an heirloom garlic originally collected from the Republic of Georgia and treasured by chefs and gardeners.
