Seasons/Availability

German Red Garlic is available in the summer through winter months.

Description/Taste

German Red outer wrapper varies in color, from a rich cream to deep purple stripes

The flavor is sweet, rich and complex when cooked. Raw it is hot as are most garlics, but there is still a sweetness that comes through which is not there in many other garlic varieties.

Nutritional Value

Garlic is rich in manganese and vitamin B6, as well as vitamin C and copper, and contains selenium, phosphorus, vitamin B1 and calcium. Music garlic in particular contains high levels of allicin, a sulfur-containing compound that provides antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Allicin is produced when garlic is crushed and is more potent in raw form.
