FOR GREEN GARLIC FROM CHRISTOPHER RANCH, THINK SPRING, SUMMER, FALL AND WINTER
Once a springtime specialty item, Christopher Ranch has extended the Green Garlic season to year-round. The nation’s largest domestic garlic grower/packer, Christopher Ranch has refined a field to table system to keep freshly harvested Green Garlic continuously in the produce pipeline.
The delicate bulb and stem of young garlic, Christopher Ranch Green Garlic yields a subtle and aromatic garlic flavor that complements ingredients from every season. Similar in appearance to green onions and equally versatile, Green Garlic is often paired with spring arrivals like asparagus and salmon. In summer, salad greens like Arugula Salad with Lime Vinaigrette and Green Garlic Flakes benefit from its mild garlicky kick. For fall and winter, Green Garlic brightens the flavors in a sauté of foraged mushrooms and a savory Pancetta and Green Garlic Pizza.
Christopher Ranch Green Garlic is available in convenient 1-pound bags (4/case).

Christopher Ranch Elephant Garlic- When Bigger is Better
For chefs looking for a signature appetizer, unique and crunchy chip, a distinctive addition to sautés and mixed grills, Christopher Ranch recommends Elephant Garlic. A gentle giant, Elephant Garlic is not true garlic, but a separate species of Allium more closely related to the leek.
And, if looks are deceiving, Elephant Garlic surprises flavor-wise, as well. Milder and moister than regular garlic, it is more suited for use as a vegetable—as in Roasted Garlic and Goat Cheese Flan*— than as an aromatic. Other menu suggestions include roasting whole bulbs with beef and poultry, deep-fried Elephant Garlic chips to accompany appetizers, salads and soups, and fresh slices in salads, layered in sandwiches and scattered on pizza.
Christopher Ranch packs Elephant Garlic in 10-pound cartons and is ready to ship year-round. With proper storage, Elephant Garlic will stay fresh for several months.
