Garlic scapes are one of those seasonal foods that deserve way more attention. 🌱
They’re the curly green shoots that garlic plants send up before the bulb fully develops, and harvesting them actually helps the garlic bulb grow bigger underground.
But they’re also packed with benefits:• rich in antioxidants• contain sulfur compounds like garlic cloves• support heart and immune health• full of fresh garlic flavor without being overpowering
We love using them in:
- pesto
- eggs
- stir fry
- soups
- compound butter
- fermented blends
Fresh foods like this remind us that some of the best nutrition is seasonal, local, and only around for a short window each year.
