Garlic Scapes are one of nature’s little known culinary gems and are magically delicious. In our section on Hardneck Garlics, we describe their origin. They are the flower of the garlic plant and are customarily removed in late spring to ensure the growth of larger bulbs. The flavor is fresh, green, and vegetal and suffused with the taste of young, fresh garlic. The texture is tender yet crisp. They can be used as a garnish, in soups, meats and salads when simply chopped raw. They keep well in the refrigerator for up to a month. Just put them into a paper bag and close the top to keep them from drying out. Wash the scapes before using. For year-round usage, we have developed salt fermented scapes. For culinary ideas, please see our Scape Recipes.

The Garlic Clubb Salted Garlic Scapes For year-round ease of usage, our salt fermented scapes are ideal for soups and sauces, salad dressings, meats and vegetarian dishes. They are a subtle alternative to fresh garlic, but much easier to use. They can even be used on barbequed steaks, chicken or ribs. A teaspoon of our salted scapes is the equivalent of one garlic clove. On the day they are harvested, they are taken straight from the garden to insure freshness and tenderness, finely chopped and placed in sealed glass containers with pure Himalayan pink salt. No additives or other ingredients. We chose Himalayan pink salt because it is the cleanest salt available and most beneficial therapeutically. It contains over 84 minerals and trace elements, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper and iron, so it does more than just make your food taste better. Refrigerate after opening. |
