Bogatyr garlic is a hardneck variety from the Purple Stripe subgroup, prized for its excellent flavor, robust bulbs, and outstanding storage capabilities. Each bulb showcases creamy white skins accented by distinctive purple streaks, adding visual charm alongside culinary quality.
The bulbs typically contain 3 to 5 large, easily peeled cloves, simplifying both kitchen preparation and planting. Its cloves are plump, featuring attractive purple streaks with subtle hints of copper coloration, giving them a distinctive and appealing appearance.
In terms of flavor, Bogatyr garlic has a medium-hot taste when eaten raw, becoming deliciously mellow and mildly sweet upon cooking. This makes it perfect for roasting, sautéing, and various culinary applications where balanced garlic flavor is essential.
Bogatyr garlic is especially well-known for its impressive storage qualities. Under proper conditions, bulbs have been reported to last between 7 and 9 months, significantly longer than many other garlic varieties.
All garlic bulbs are grown chemically free in nutrient-rich soil. Orders are shipped carefully in flat-rate padded envelopes to ensure optimal protection during delivery.
