Native to Moscow, Bogatyr garlic has fewer cloves per bulb than the standard garlic and is considered to be one of the hottest varieties. The bulbs of this variety are small, yet they're known for their fiery, raw heat that diminishes quickly to a mild and pleasant flavor. Besides, Bogatyr is an excellent source of vitamin B6, vitamin C, and manganese. It is also known for its high allicin content which has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Since Bogatyr is intensely hot when raw, it is typically used by coarsely chopping, mincing, and pureeing it, which will release oils providing an even sharper flavor than slicing it or leaving it whole. So, you have to be careful when using Bogatyr garlic, especially if you know you can't handle this level of heat!
