Winter garlic "RUSTISEM"
Rustisem is a strong, productive, and resilient hardneck winter garlic variety, known for its large, firm bulbs and distinctly purple clove skins. The variety is suitable for cooler regions and ensures consistent yields even in harsh climatic conditions.
The flavor is sharp, persistent, and aromatic, making Rustisem an excellent choice for cooking, pickling, fermenting, and spicier dishes. The bulbs usually form 6–9 large cloves, which are convenient for use both professionally and in home cooking.
Rustisem is a garlic line from the Eastern European and Baltic region, developed through the selection of locally cold-hardy winter garlic. It is considered a variety that originated through natural selection on rural farms, where planting material was chosen over decades from the strongest yields.
