Asian Tempest

Asian Tempest is an Asiatic garlic that was brought to Canada from South Korea.

It’s ready earlier in the season, well before many other varieties.

When raw the flavour can be hot, intense, and spicy. Cooking evolves the flavour so it becomes sweet and spicy.

Delicious when baked.

The bulbs have a slightly flattened teardrop shape with purple striping on the wrappers. There are usually 5 to 7 plump cloves in each. The cloves are beautiful deep-violet with golden streaks.

Stores for up to 5 months.

Heritage garlic.
