Elephant Garlic
Previously only available in gourmet shops or specialty item catalogues, fresh elephant garlic can now usually be found in nearly all grocery stores. Although extremely large (size of a small fist), it is extremely mild and can be sliced and put on hamburgers just like you would an onion. Elephant garlic is primarily grown in California and imported from Chile as well. It can be used in all ways just like regular garlic, but with a much more subtle flavor. And remember, fresh garlic has been found to improve circulation and expand arteries as well as helping to reduce the risk of stomach cancer and digestive tract cancers.
See our recipes for Roasted Garlic, Garlic Bread and Garlic Butter.
Enjoy!
