Inchelium Red

Discovered on the Colville Indian Reservation by grower Larry Geno, Inchelium Red is a nationally celebrated heirloom softneck garlic with deep roots and even deeper flavor. With 4 to 5 overlapping clove layers and anywhere from 8 to 20 cloves per bulb, this variety is both generous and dependable.

Inchelium Red delivers a bold, garlicky punch with an initial heat that quickly mellows into a smooth, savory finish. It was crowned the top-rated softneck garlic in a 1990 Rodale Kitchens taste test—and for good reason.

With a storage life of up to 10 months and a flavor that elevates everything from roasted dishes to raw preparations, Inchelium Red is a staple for garlic lovers who want richness without overpowering sharpness.
