Melissahof gourmet garlic is all-naturally grown, without synthetic chemicals, near Lander, Wyo. An Asiatic garlic, Asian Tempest is a native variety of South Korea. A U.S. military veteran of the Korean War and his Korean wife brought the Asian Tempest variety to their Oregon farm. Their neighbor, Sweetwater Farm, first grew it commercially. Asian Tempest cloves are large and colored deep violet. Its raw flavor is intensely spicy! When cooked, its richness mellows into the tangy taste of a sweet pepper.
