Description

Garlic scapes are the flowering stems from garlic plants. Amazing garlicky taste, and no need to peel anything. Just cut em up and use em like fresh, delicious garlic! Really good stir fried, or chopped up and added to hamburger or eggs.

The scapes are getting older and so were putting them on sale. The tips are yellow now on most of them, so we’ve been cutting off the tips.

I made the best garlic spaces mashed potatoes I’ve ever made the other day – I simmered roughly chopped scapes in butter for like 10-15 minutes, then strained out the scapes and mixed the butter with my boiled potatoes and mashed them up. Then, with the scapes remains (which were very soft and buttery after simmering them for so long) I blended them with a bit of olive oil, and put them on top in the center of the mashed potatoes (like they do in the grocery stores with their fancy flavored hummus). And it was amazing. So even though the garlic scapes are older, you can still make amazing stuff with them!
