Purple Stripes
Genetic studies have shown Purple Stripes to be the original line of garlic that other varieties evolved from. It does best in cooler Northern climates with cold winters. Named because of the vivid purple coloration and striping on the bulb wrappers and clove skins, it is a strikingly attractive garlic. Most cultivars have 8 to 12 cloves per bulb. They store slightly longer than Rocamboles and peel almost as easily. The cloves are generally arrayed in a single layer around the flower stalk, though very large bulbs may have inner cloves. For a similarly sized bulb, the cloves are more numerous and thus somewhat smaller than Rocambole cloves and considerably smaller than Marbled Purple Stripe cloves. Purple Stripes are fantastic culinary garlics. They have a strong, complex and rich garlic flavor, without being overly sulfurous. They are great for roasting, usually winning “best baked garlic” taste tests. They do not have the sweetness of Rocamboles, but some of the best may be even more characterful.
Persian Star – Medium sized with a clear white outer skin and purple streaked inner wrappers. 6-8 cloves per bulb. Also, known as Samarkand, Duganskij and Duganski, 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. Stores for about five to six months.
