(Allium ampeloprasum)
Not really a true garlic, Elephant garlic is more closely related to the leek family. Its common name probably came from its giant size. Each big clove can be almost the size of a whole head of regular garlic!

Elephant Garlic flavors most dishes with a softer, less intense flavor than regular garlic. Perfect for a mellow, sweet garlic taste that doesn't overpower other ingredients. Bake the big cloves and spread their succulent roasted interiors to top bruschetta or baked potatoes. Excellent for soups and stews. Medium to late maturity.

This famous hardneck is named after Al Musik who found it on a trip to Italy in the 1980s. Known for sweet, hot pungent flavor. Bulbs are a uniform shape, white with a hint of pink.

The very large cloves are tightly encased in wrapper leaves but peel out easily. Uniformly high-yielding and vigorous, cold-tolerant Musik is one of the very earliest varieties to mature. Early to mid-season maturity.

Red Shallots reliably produce plump, juicy, teardrop shaped red-skinned bulbs with shiny, coppery-red skins and white flesh with faint red rings. They have a delicious sweet, nutty flavor that shines when sauteed in butter or olive oil, caramelizes beautifully, and they will cook down to add subtle notes that enhance every dish without ever dominating it. Red shallots are nice in cooking with wine and/or a great addition to homemade vinaigrette. These are long keepers: Stores 6-9 months 

Smoother and sweeter than either onions or garlic, shallots add special savor and a distinctive finish to dishes that subtly enhances and blends favors without overwhelming them. If onions cause digestive upset, you'll find sweet, nutty, red shallots easier on the stomach. Each individual planting shallot multiplies to produce a large cluster of plump, succulent shallots.

Purple Majesty potatoes are oval with purple/blue flesh. They have much better flavor than other blue varieties and keep their rich color when cooked. The natural deep purple/blue pigment is due to very high levels of anthocyanin and carotenoids, potent bioactive antioxidants that help reduce the risk of heart disease. Pigmented potatoes like Purple Majesty have been linked to decreased oxidative stress, inflammation, and improved immune status.

Besides real health benefits, Purple Majesty potatoes offer excellent table quality with firm moist flesh and great flavor whether baked, boiled or fried.
