Garlic scapes are the tender, curly flower stalks of hardneck garlic. They have a fresh, mild garlic flavor that's sweeter and less pungent than garlic cloves. Delicious chopped into salads, sautéed with vegetables, grilled whole, blended into pesto, or added to soups and stir-fries.
A seasonal favorite available for just a few weeks each year, garlic scapes bring a bright garlic flavor to almost any dish. Store in the refrigerator and use within 1–2 weeks for best quality.
