Garlic scapes are the seed head and stalk that emerge in early June from garlic plants."O.K., O.K., what is a garlic scape? In her column “Simply MJ,” Mary Jane Butters writes, “scapes are the flower stalks found on members of the Allium family (onions, leeks, chives, and garlic). Garlic scapes, which only appear on the finest hardneck garlic varieties, curl upward as they grow, ultimately straighten, and then grow little seed-like bulbs. When the garlic scapes are still in full curl, they are tender and delicious....She also thinks they’re beautiful. “You can wear them on your arm like a bracelet,” she said. 'They’d make nice artwork.'"
