What is a Garlic Scape?
"Garlic scapes are the flower stalks of the finest hardneck garlic varieties, curl upwards as they grow, ultimately straighten, and then grow little seedlike bulbs. When the garlic scapes are in full curl they are tender and delicious" *with a pronounced raw garlic flavour.
For those who find the "raw" flavour too strong, a quick saute in butter or oil softens the flavour.
