The elephant garlic produces a huge flower which
looks like purple fire works. It is often sold as a cut flower. I have seen
prices from $1 to $3 at a local farmers market. The much smaller hardneck
garlic also produces a flower. These are much smaller and not necessarily
pretty. These are popular in oriental markets. Also, a great dressing can
be made from these: Harvest flowers while still young and tender, in food
processor puree as finely as possible. Add olive oil, apple cider vinegar,
umi (or rice) vinegar, sweet basil, lemon juice, ginger juice, salt,
very light cayenne pepper. Consistency should be thick but fluid.
Put on a tomato sandwich and it is out of this world. Hugh Lovell, (renown biodynamic farmer and former Green party Candidate
for Ag Commissioner) from Blairsville, GA made one which leaped off the
shelves at $8 per mason jar. He also would take a wheelbarrow full of garlic
flower to his cows and watch them run to him and fight over them as part of a
rite of spring.
