2026年6月25日、にんにく1.75キロ、豆のさや28グラムで世界記録June 25, 2026 — A 1.75-Kilogram Garlic Bulb Sets Two World Records at Once

At a nursery in Wargrave, Berkshire, England, on June 25, home gardener Graham Barratt, of Gloucestershire, had an elephant garlic bulb — a close relative of the leek — weighed and confirmed as a Guinness World Record: 1.75 kilograms (3 lb 13.7 oz), with a diameter of 19 cm. That's roughly 35 times heavier than a typical supermarket garlic bulb, and 4 to 5 times bigger than a normal elephant garlic.

The same day, Barratt set a second record with a pea pod of the 'Train Driver' variety, weighing 28 grams (0.98 oz) and measuring 17.5 cm long — a new record category created for the occasion.

"It has been a lot of fun watching it grow," Barratt said. "Even though I couldn't tell how big it was getting, I knew that I had something special when the stem itself measured 20 cm in circumference." He already holds several other giant-vegetable records.
