Elephant Garlic
Our Elephant garclic can be enjoyed three ways: fresh, garlic powder or garlic scape powder.
Elephant Garlic – Fresh
Elephant or Russian Garlic is a member of the leek family, so the taste is a lovely blend of garlic and leek. Bulbs can be as large as the palm of your hand, weighing up to 500 grams, meaning cloves will also be three to four times larger than a normal clove.
Cost is $32 per kilo. Seed stock is available at $40 per kilo
Garlic Powder
We dehydrate and grind garlic cloves that are under sized or not as pretty looking like most people expect. The powder can be used to season any type of meal – mixed with tomato paste for a pizza base, added to stews or casseroles, sprinkled on pork chops before being crumbed (one of our favourite ways to do pork chops). The options are endless!
Garlic powder is available in 100 gm eco-friendly bags for $4.00.
Garlic Scape Powder
Garlic scapes are the long, slender flower stems that grow from the top of hardneck garlic. We need to harvest the garlic scapes early, so that the plant can direct its energy towards growing the bulb, rather than the flower. When harvesting our first planting of garlic in 2023 we decided to try cooking with the scapes rather than throw them away. We found they are delicious with a light garlicky and grass flavour. We then decided to dehydrate and grind the scapes as we didn’t have enough room to store all the fresh scapes. Garlic scape powder is fantastic with scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes or as a garlic flavoured seasoning added to enhance any meal.
Garlic scape powder is sold in 100 gm eco-friendly bags for $4.00.
