Why Choose Red Russian Garlic Over Other Garlic Varieties?

When it comes to garlic, not all varieties are created equal. Red Russian Garlic, a type of hardneck garlic, stands out for its bold flavour, beautiful purple-tinged skin, and ability to thrive in cold Canadian climates. Compared to commonly imported softneck varieties from China or California, Red Russian Garlic delivers a richer, more complex taste with fewer, larger cloves that are easier to peel and use in cooking.

What makes this variety ideal for Canadian conditions is its adaptability to harsh winters and its high disease resistance. Because it’s grown locally, it's harvested fresh, without being bleached or treated with preservatives—unlike mass-produced imports that often travel thousands of kilometres before reaching your kitchen.

Buying locally grown garlic, like Red Russian Garlic from British Columbia, supports Canadian farmers, reduces your environmental impact, and guarantees a fresher, more nutritious product. Plus, you're contributing to a more sustainable, transparent food system where quality and care matter.
