Description
Inchelium Red won a garlic taste test at Rodale Institute, and it has been a kitchen favorite ever since. This artichoke softneck delivers mild, sweet, complex flavor without any of the sharpness that turns some people off garlic. Large bulbs, exceptional storage, and a flavor profile that works in nearly everything.
Flavor
Mild, sweet, and surprisingly layered. Inchelium Red has depth without any harsh heat or sharp bite. It is the garlic for people who want to use it in everything and want a supply that lasts all year. The flavor holds up well even after months in storage.
In the Kitchen
A genuine everyday workhorse. Use it raw in dressings, dips, and salsas without worrying about overpowering anyone. Roast it whole for a sweet, mellow paste. Stir it into pasta, soups, or grain bowls. Mild enough for dishes where you want garlic presence without garlic dominance, and a reliable choice when cooking for kids or mixed palates.
Growing
Inchelium Red is a softneck artichoke variety that produces no scape and needs no pruning. It is more adaptable to a wider range of climates than hardneck types and does well in warmer regions (zones 7 to 9) as well as the Pacific Northwest. Plant October to November, harvest June to July.
Storage
Exceptional storage life of 6 to 12 months in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space. The flexible softneck stem also makes it ideal for traditional garlic braiding, a practical and attractive way to keep your harvest accessible all year.
