12 pieces in one bunch!
Like hardneck garlic, elephant garlic forms a flowering stem. However, to encourage the bulb to grow, we cut these stems off. The stems have a mild garlic/leek flavor and are very popular in our family. We've tried several ways to prepare them and are always amazed at how versatile this vegetable is. Wrapped in a damp cloth in the refrigerator, the garlic stems stay fresh for weeks.
You can use the elephant garlic stems:
-Cut into pieces and fry in butter or oil for about 5-6 minutes and serve like green beans or add to salads and stir-fries.
-Roast or grill and serve like asparagus with an aioli dip or simply a little balsamic vinegar and olive oil. You can eat the whole stalk and the flower head.
-make a garlic pesto and use the raw stems instead of basil.
-Cut into small pieces and add to risotto dishes.
-chop, blanch and stir into mashed potatoes.
-Garlic stem soup.
-Cut into pieces and fry or steam the stems, then add to omelets, quiches and tarts.

What is important to us:
-
Garlic variety
We were amazed to discover how many different types of garlic have emerged around the world. We would also like to grow a small selection here on the Hochberg. That's why we test new, interesting varieties every year.
-
Biological Diversity
...is available in our garlic field. We do not use weed killers, insecticides or artificial fertilizers. We regulate the weeds mechanically...and that's actually hard work. Especially if you have to weed by hand. But as a reward for this we have a wonderful diversity of species!
-
Ingredients and quality
We only use organic ingredients, wherever possible from the region. We are also growers of Alb lentils ourselves. We get first-class cleaned lentils from the house next door as an ingredient for our lentil spreads. We purchase rapeseed oil from the Bauschatz organic farm nearby. Most of our products bear the Bioland logo and are strictly inspected annually by ABCert. Hygiene and quality assurance is carried out by the BAV INSTITUT. We are also a member of Slow Food Germany.

packaging and shipping
We work with an environmental printing company. The labels and leaflets are printed in an environmentally friendly way. The use of organic printing inks and organic varnishes based on renewable raw materials as well as suitable adhesives and additives also contribute to the conservation of resources. When shipping, we take great care to ensure that there is no waste, everything is made of paper.
