Originating from Idaho, this garlic variety thrives in cooler climates, making it well-suited for regions with mild summers and cold winters. Its bulbs are distinguished by their soft, pliable wrappers and uniform appearance, typically yielding multiple cloves in each bulb. The outer layers feature a silvery-white hue with subtle streaks of purple.
Known for its mild yet distinct flavor, Idaho Silver Garlic presents a delightful blend of earthiness with a subtle garlic bite. Each clove offers a smooth, creamy texture that enhances a wide range of culinary dishes, from roasts to sauces and beyond.
For those seeking a dependable garlic variety with a mild yet satisfying taste profile, Idaho Silver stands out as a prized addition to any garden or kitchen.
