Chinapa Garlic - GREEN BAG
GAR007
Allium sativum. Chinapa Garlic is a medium spicy garlic grown in the Sonoran town of Chinapa and watered with water from the Santa Cruz River. Grown by Breckenfeld Family Growers in Tucson, AZ. Available for a limited time through mid-November.
Tasting notes from NS/S Staff: A mild, buttery, complex garlic with an interesting fermented/nutty character; roasting brings out its cream, savory side and softens the bite.
Storage and planting instructions:
- Store in a cool, dry place
- Plant during the windows of early October to late November
- Store in fridge 4-6 weeks before planting
- Plant pointed side up
Garlic prefers a rich soil high in organic matter and that drains well. Separate the cloves just prior to planting. Plant 6” apart, root end down, pointed end up. Cover with 2” of soil and a layer of mulch. Sprouts will appear in 4-8 weeks depending upon weather conditions. Garlic can tolerate frost and freezes. Keep weeded. In the Southwest, harvest in early May - early June depending on elevation.
Each garlic head includes approx. 8-12 cloves.
Please note: These garlic bulbs intended for seed and may be missing cloves that were removed due to natural stages of deterioration.
