Description
Garlics scapes are the shoot of the garlic plant that would otherwise turn into a flower if not picked. By picking the scape, you take the plants ability to put energy into making a flower, and allow it to put that energy into making a bigger bulb – which is a good thing! The closest thing we can compare garlic scapes to is asparagus, but of course, garlic scapes have a garlicky taste.
