Garlic and Garlic Scapes

Garlic does not linger quietly on the back burner. Most people react to it adamantly, either with adoration or distaste. For the admirers out there, you’ve got plenty of company. Almost all cultures grow garlic and cook with it. In fact, it’s been cultivated for so long that it’s hardly found in the wild. As for cooking it, there are many exciting preparations to choose from: zesty raw garlic, mellow roasted garlic, pickled garlic, and the savory flavor of sautéed garlic that falls somewhere in between.

Angelic Organics also distributes garlic scapes, the curlicue flower stalks we snap off garlic plants in the spring. Not only will you get to enjoy garlic-flavored scapes while you wait for the bulbs to come on, you’ll also get bigger bulbs of garlic later in the season as a result of our removing the flower stalks. Snapping off the flower redirects the plant’s energy down toward the root, and some say this process increases the bulb size by 30 percent or more!
