Garlic scapes are the stem and flower bud of a hard neck garlic plant. They have a very short season as each plant only grows one. They have a mild garlic flavor and are not hot like the garlic bulb. Our favorite way to use them is minced and mixed with butter for garlic bread (best garlic bread ever!), pasta, rice or vegetables or even scrambled eggs.  They also make a great pesto. The recipe I use is listed under “Recipes from Pam”.
They are in the cooler for $2.00 per bunch (about 1/2 lb.)
