GARLIC SCAPES
General Information
Garlic scapes are the super cool looking flowering stems of the garlic plant.
Storage Tips
Garlic scapes will store for up to 2 weeks in the crisper drawer of your fridge. Otherwise - try putting them cut-side-down into a glass of water. They keep well this way and make a nice and unique arrangement for your kitchen table as well!

RECIPES
Cooking &
Eating Tips
Garlic scapes have a nice mild garlic flavor and can be used in almost any recipe that calls for garlic. To use, cut off the tough tip of the flower bud and discard. The rest of the bud & stem is the part you eat. Simply cut into small pieces and add to your dish!
GARLIC SCAPE PESTO
1 c. garlic scapes, cut into 1” pieces
1/2 c. oregano leaves (or any other fresh herb or mix)
1/2 c. walnuts, toasted
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 tsp. salt
freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
Combine everything but the olive oil in a food processor & pulse until evenly ground up. Add olive oil in a thin stream while the processor is going. Store in an air-tight container in fridge (top with a bit of olive oil to prevent the top darkening) for up to a week or freeze.
Garlic scape pesto, like normal pesto, can be used in all sorts of different dishes, inclusing pasta, pizza, even as a dip for crackers. Some like it on fish, or on toasted french bread for a bruschetta alternative. For a really tasty treat, try a scallion, asparagus, lacinato kale, garlic pesto omelette (trust me it’s out-of-this-world-good).
