Default Garlic Weight.

Looking on the internet about garlic clove weight, it seems cloves are around 1 to 6 grams. This obviously is not true. I have been weighing most of my garlic as I use it and always get form 20 to 50 gram per clove, probably an average of about 30 grams.

This is my typical garlic clove.At the garlic festivals I have not encountered better. This is hard neck and the name is not known. I select the best bulbs for seed each year, but also am growing bulbils now for seed. It has a strong biting, garlic flavor, meaning it is not pleasant to eat raw, since it burns somewhat.The clove skin is slightly colored purple near the base, but the clove is perfectly white after the skin is removed.The largest clove is 31 grams and the total bulb weight is 117 grams.
