Persian Star

Type: Hardneck, Purple Stripe

Cloves per bulb: 6-8

Storability: 5-6 months

Medium sized with a clear white outer skin and purple streaked inner wrappers.  Persian Star is said to have originally been discovered at a market in Samarkand, Uzbekistan – the general area believed to be where garlic first originated.  It is a great example of what Purple Stripe garlics have to offer, with vivid colors, a rich, strong taste, and large easy-to-peel cloves that make it a culinary favorite.  Excellent flavor with a robust garlic taste and a mild spicy finish that isn’t as sulfurous and overpowering as some varieties can be.
