Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A classic rocambole garlic, Korean Red delivers a flavor that is hot, spicy, rich and strong. The flavor holds on the tongue. This variety produces bulbs that usually have 8 to 9 good size cloves. While it is easy to peel, it's not a long term keeper so ideal uses include fall soups, stews, late season salsas (with the last of the tomatoes) and spicy stir fries. Also known as Korean Red Hot.
