Chesnok Red Garlic – Sweet, Striking, and Seed-Ready

Chesnok Red is a standout heirloom hardneck garlic known for its rich, sweet flavor, especially when roasted. With its vibrant purple-striped bulbs and easy-to-peel cloves, it’s a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike. Whether you're baking, sautéing, or crafting garlic-forward dishes, Chesnok delivers a smooth, mellow heat that enhances without overpowering.  Approximately 40 bulbs.

Each bulb typically contains 8–12 cloves, making it not only a culinary gem but also a prime choice for seed garlic. Plant individual cloves in fall, and by next summer you'll harvest your own robust bulbs—perfect for cold climates like Maine. Chesnok Red thrives in well-drained soil, produces edible scapes in early summer, and stores beautifully for up to 6 months when properly cured.
