Russian Redstreak Garlic has medium-sized bulbs with pale purple stripes on them.
Depending where the garlic is grown, its taste can be mild, or it can be sharp at first, with the flavour building after that. The flavour is particularly good when raw.
Early harvest. If left in ground too long, it will split open.
The garlic belongs to the Asiatic sub-group of the Artichoke group of garlics, itself a subgroup of softneck garlics.
