Softneck varieties (Allium sativum var. sativum):

Given this type as their necks tend to stay soft at harvest time, so they can be easily braided. Softneck varieties will produces large cloves around the outside, and smaller cloves in the middle. Most have a strong flavor, stores well and are less winter-hardy than stiffnecked varieties. Varieties found in supermarkets are most often softnecks. Includes Silverskin and Artichoke types.
