It is one of the most widely cultivated varieties. Silver skin garlic typically produces bulbs with many cloves in varying sizes within the same bulb. Its flavor is more mild than other garlic varieties, being slightly sweet and less spicy than hardneck varieties. Silver skin garlic is easy to peel. It has a long shelf life and stores well.
