Description/Taste
Perched on top of the stems, the purple-skinned bulbets develop into coils. Their flat reed-like green leaves resemble those of garlic chives, but are wider. Nicknamed "serpent garlic" because of their suggestive appearance, the stems shoot up as they grow often forming a loop. Offering a light taste, their garlic flavor is mild.

Applications
Slightly mash to release the mild garlic flavor. The fresh stems may be chopped like chives.
