Health Benefits of Garlic Scapes
Have you seen garlic scapes at the farmer’s market? They are the soft green stems tipped with unopened flowers that grow out of hard-neck garlic. Garlic scapes are harvested early summer and mid-fall, before the flowers open, to allow the plant to focus on the garlic bulb rather than pollination. They have a mild garlic flavor and a slight sweetness making them delicious in pesto, salmon cakes, stir-fries and even raw in salads! Garlic Scapes contain components that reoxygenate the blood and maintain healthy tissues and organs. They also contain allium compounds that inhibit the enzymes responsible for breaking down bones, thus helping prevent osteoarthritis.
