Ukraine
Last updated on Jul 15, 2024 by Ben Ronniger
Taste test - I bit a good size plug out of the top a medium large clove, about one third of the clove and sat back to see what life had to offer for the next minute. Ukraine was crisp and crunchy with a light taste very much reminiscent of shallots with a little sharpness of four to five on a scale of ten and there was a warm rich aftertaste that lingered for a few minutes. Actually, it was a delightful raw snack devoid of heavy garlickiness. This garlic will be excellent for salads and pesto among other raw uses where you might want a light but snappy garlic.
