Garlic scapes are the curlicue flower stalks that appear on the garlic plants in June, about a month before the bulbs are ready to harvest. Garlic scapes can be eaten and enjoyed now while we wait for the bulbs to be ready. It is important to snap off the scapes because we'll get 30 percent bigger bulbs as the plant redirects its energy down toward the root. Garlic scapes have a milder taste than the bulbs. Just chop all the way up the green stalks, saute and enjoy the mild garlic taste in many of your favorite dishes.
