Pskem
Last updated on Jul 15, 2024 by Ben Ronniger
Originating from the Pskem Valley in Uzbekistan, known for its fertile soil and ideal growing conditions, this garlic thrives in cooler climates with ample sunlight. Its large bulbs feature 6 to 8 cloves. The bulb roundness showcases the hues of white and purple that add to its visual appeal.
Renowned for its complex flavor profile, Pskem delivers a distinctive blend of rich earthiness and mild garlic heat. Upon first bite, it presents a bold, savory flavor with a hint of sweetness, followed by a smooth, lingering aftertaste that delights the palate.
