non splitting garlic seeds
LATIN NAME: Allium sativum (single-clove form)
COMMON NAME: Non-Splitting Garlic
Most garlic heads split into many cloves, but this one does not bother. The non-splitting garlic grows as a low, hardy bulb plant of the onion family, with the flat, grey-green, strap-like leaves rising from the base and, through the early summer, the round, dense heads of the small, whitish flowers and the little bulbils on the tall, upright stems, followed by the small, dry, black seeds. Beneath the ground it forms a single, plump, round bulb, with no division into the separate cloves, and that is the whole point of it. It is a form of the common garlic, a species of the flowering bulb in the onion family, grown across the temperate world, and it is known as the non-splitting garlic or the round garlic.
The non-splitting garlic belongs to the onion family, Amaryllidaceae, and it is a low, hardy bulb plant of the temperate world. Its single, plump, round bulb sets it apart from the cloved garlic, and the whole bulb is used as one piece. It is known as the non-splitting garlic, and it is treasured for its simple, single bulb.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The garlic has been studied for its strong, pungent chemistry, and the compounds that give the bulb its sharp bite and its keeping qualities have been looked at by the researchers of the natural products. The non-splitting form has been written up in the food and horticultural papers as a convenient and mild garlic, and the bulb has been studied for its storage and its easy use in the kitchen. The garlic as a group has been studied for its chemistry, its cultivation and its long history in the cooking of the world. For a bulb with such a strong character, the garlic has a rich and practical record of study.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
In the kitchen the non-splitting garlic is a handy thing. The single, plump bulb is peeled and used as one piece, and its flavour is a little milder and simpler than the cloved garlic, which makes it easy in the cooking. The round, dense heads of the small flowers feed the bees of the early summer, and the flat, grey-green leaves give a neat, upright look to the herb bed. The garlic has been a staple of the cooking of the world for a very long time, and the non-splitting form is a convenient, old-fashioned variety that has been kept by the gardeners who like its simplicity. The non-splitting garlic is an easy, rewarding crop for the grower. Plant the plump little bulbs in the autumn, setting them just below the surface of the loose, fertile soil in a sunny, open spot, keep them moist but not wet through the winter, and by the early summer the new single bulbs will be ready to lift.
