Metechi Garlic, courtesy Irish Eyes Garden Seeds
Metechi is a mid-season, purple striped hardneck variety. Metechi has a robust garlic flavor along with a sharp bite. Raw, it’s fiery hot, finishing with a lasting spice. Cooking will tone down the heat, while retaining the garlic taste you’ll want. This variety has thick, white-wrapped bulbs that hold 4-6 bulky cloves wrapped in a blush-color skin dappled with purple. These are cold-hardy plants with strong leaves.
