Garlic Bulbs

The Hot variety: a brief introduction to the Garlic Bulb family

A garlic bulb is a garlic bulb for someone who does not really care for garlic. However, for the rest of the world who does care for it, the appeal of garlic goes beyond just a simple crop. It comes in many forms and varieties and in recent count, it has been said that there are well over 600 sub-varieties of the plant. In some areas in the US, communities hold garlic festivities where they put garlic into any possible food options, be it in ice cream or shakes.

Burgundy is a form of creole garlic and has a medium pungency. Most creole garlic bulbs have very rich and full flavors with medium pungent aroma. This particular kind of garlic has a rose color and they are grown in most southern climates since they are more adept to changing weather patterns compared to most varieties. They are absolutely beautiful to have on the garden due to the color.

Most would agree that of all garlic bulbs, the porcelain variety is the most beautiful. The wrapper is thick and has a paper-y texture and quality. The outer shell is pure white but as the layers are peeled, hints of purple show. These particular varieties grow best in cooler climates but some southern regions grow it well also.

Rocambole has a thinner wrapper and will most of the time have more purplish hues. They are not the most perfect looking garlic bulb varieties but they do pack some awesome flavor. A lot of garlic aficionados agree that the Rocambole variety is indeed a pleasure to eat. They are generally very flavorful and most of the sub-varieties are very hot (pungent). These particular varieties need cool climates to grow well. It would have been a pain for people from warmer climates to grow these varieties. It would be best to just order them from an actual grower if you want to cook specific dishes using the Rocambole.

When it comes to the “braid-able” ones, the silverskin is the one with the more pliable neck and they store very well. They are relatively small and they grow later but they have stronger flavors than the artichokes. This has a nice white wrapper and when braided, just looks beautiful on your kitchen.

Another interesting “garlic bulb” is the elephant garlic. It is actually not part of the onion family but only a leak that forms bulbs. These particular ones have very mild flavors and are good for those who are not yet ready for the real deal in garlic dishes.
