    Elephant Garlic (Allium ampeloprasum) is a unique type of garlic that’s actually more closely related to leeks, which gives it a milder and sweeter flavor than traditional garlic. Its bulbs are notably large—sometimes up to four times the size of regular garlic bulbs—and consist of a few massive cloves that are easy to peel and prepare.

    Elephant garlic is a unique and mild-flavored member of the allium family, closely related to leeks rather than true garlic. Known for its enormous bulbs, each clove can be several times larger than regular garlic, with a smooth, pale beige exterior. Its flavor is subtler than typical garlic, making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy a delicate garlic essence without the overpowering sharpness. It also produces tall, ornamental scapes with purple-pink flower heads, adding visual appeal to gardens.
