Garlic Scape
The garlic scape is the flower stalk of the garlic plant (Allium sativum), a species in the onion genus, Allium. It is also known as a "garlic stem", "stalk", or "spear". Garlic scapes are a popular culinary ingredient, known for their mild garlic flavor and tender texture.
Description
Garlic scapes are long, slender, and curved, with a bright green color. They emerge from the top of hardneck garlic plants in late spring or early summer, before the garlic bulbs mature. The scape ends in a pointed, closed flower bud. If left to grow, the scape will eventually bloom into a flower.
Culinary Uses
Garlic scapes are edible and can be used in a variety of dishes. They have a mild garlic flavor and a slightly sweet taste. They can be used raw in salads, or cooked in stir-fries, soups, and stews. Garlic scapes can also be pickled, or made into pesto. They are a popular ingredient in Asian cuisine, particularly in Korean cuisine, where they are used in dishes such as kimchi and bulgogi.
Health Benefits
Like garlic bulbs, garlic scapes are rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, and manganese. They also contain allicin, a compound with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Some studies suggest that consuming garlic scapes may help boost the immune system, reduce inflammation, and improve cardiovascular health.
Cultivation
Garlic scapes are typically harvested in late spring or early summer, before the garlic bulbs mature. Harvesting the scapes encourages the plant to direct more energy towards the growth of the bulb. In some regions, garlic scapes are considered a seasonal delicacy and are sold at farmers' markets.
