Metechi

Description

Metechi garlic is a striking hardneck variety that produces large, heavy bulbs wrapped in deep purple and maroon-streaked skins, each containing 4–7 massive, easy-to-peel cloves. Known for its bold, hot flavor with a lingering heat, Metechi is a favorite among garlic lovers who enjoy a strong bite in salsas, stir-fries, and roasted dishes. In the garden, it is a reliable performer; cold-hardy, disease-resistant, and well-suited to northern climates; making it a dependable choice for home gardeners. Harvested in midsummer, Metechi cures well and stores for 6–7 months, ensuring a steady supply of robust, flavorful garlic through the winter.
