I watched three videos on how to harvest and use garlic scapes. Yours was the most informative, by far!

Thank you for this informative video on what to make with garlic scapes! We planted garlic for the first time last fall and just harvested the scapes. I’ve watched a few videos on what to do with them and yours is by far the best and - because of that - I’ve subscribed to your channel. ❤️

You did a fabulous job, not only explaining when and how to harvest the scapes, but providing recipes. So much appreciate your presentation and wealth of information which covers just about everything we need to know.

great tips on how to use your garlic scapes! We have been making ours in to a powder, but I need to try some of your other recipes! They look yummy!

I'm late in getting to my scapes. I've been in the hospital twice since I first watched this video. I harvested some today and decided to cut the flower bulb open since some of them are kind of big. How cool is that!!! They are pre-flower and just like mini bulbs of garlic with tiny little cloves. They taste delicious. I'm going to just go ahead and use them like garlic 😊 Thank you for your video, ideas, and recipes.

Oh my goodness ... I'm so excited to learn about garlic scapes!! You have inspired me to do grow garlic, process them in the way you've taught, and I'm thinking maybe try making garlic scapes mayo.

Definitely some great uses beyond just the cloves. I grind our spices in the coffee grinder and haven't noticed a difference. But I don't drink coffee. LOL Blinda, on the other hand, often wonders why her coffee tastes different every time she grinds a new batch.

Yum! I have wanted to try making a pesto with garlic scapes. We only had a handful of scapes this year, so we threw ours in a stir fry. We plan to plant a lot more garlic this year!

Best video so far thank you

I use my scapes in stir fry and also chop them as I would cloves of garlic. They make a terrific piccata sauce.

I just found your channel and am glad I did... loved the info you provided. I'll be chopping up and eating my scapes today... :)

Great suggestions sound very tasty

Thank you. This is very well done and helpful as well as inspiring. I just picked some up for the first time and had no clue what to do

Looks very good!

These look wonderful I will be freezing drying ours then turn into a power mixed with other dried herbs…will try them fresh tonight thank you for these wonderful alternatives and your time.

Great suggestions on what to do with those garlic scapes. Also a great tip for people to use a separate coffee grinder for spices than they use for their coffee. Garlic coffee doesn’t sound very tasty:) I have seen people use rice to clean out the grinder, but I use a separate one too.

Great video I’ve made garlic butter,also garlic salt which is really good

I use the most tender ones to add to my quiche. I chop them up and add them on top of the first Swiss cheese layer, then add the chopped peppers then another cheese layer then the beaten eggs and cream. It it is very tasty.

Some very good points and ideas, thanks. I will say the the sped up was a little difficult to follow. But will try your ideas. Thanks again.

Thank you!!!

sharp :D

thank you

Excellent video with useful information. I've grown hardneck garlic for many years and not until a few years ago had I considered removing or using the scapes. Many KZfaqrs suggested that removing the scapes improved the size of the harvest. That idea sounded intriguing and made sense but I like to test these claims myself. So, in one of my raised beds where I grow about 100 garlic plants, I removed the scapes from half the plants. At harvest time, I separated the plants and did a comparison of my harvest. I didn't notice any significant difference in harvest. Perhaps if I weighed them I would have noticed a small difference, but I'm not really interested in small differences. My approach is, even if there is a slight improvement, why would I bother. That being said, perhaps there are appetizing ways to enjoy these scapes rather than just throwing them in my compost bin. Some of your recipes look interesting. Thanks for poting.

If you would please make Garlic paste I would really appreciate that. I don’t know if anyone else is interested in it or not though. Please be safe on your trip. God bless you and your family. Duane

You should put the powder back in the dehydrated for about an hour as the heat of the grinder puts some moisture back in.

Great video! Thank you! What is the name of the dehydrator that you used and do you recommend it? Thanks!

Toss the thick portion (below flower - the top portion goes in veggie broth scrap bag in freezer) in olive oil and seasonings with asparagus and onion chunks on the grill!!!

I'm growing red russian and elephant. First season with elephant so it's interesting to compare. I have to say the elephant scape is a bit disappointing. They also snuck up on me. They were ready to harvest before anything showed on the red Russian. I'll have to ferry into to town for some parm for pesto.

Some people parboil them for 30 seconds to a minute to take the sting out of them before making them into pesto. That is a lower calorie less messy way to prep them than sauteeing them.

Do garlic scapes smell like garlic (like, strongly?) They're so cool looking I'd love to use them in a flower arrangement, but I don't think garlicky bouquets would sell well.

Do you use lemon juice even for pesto you plan to freeze?

I have both hard neck and soft neck and both gave me scapes🙃

Can I wait a day after snipping before I make pesto ? Is this ok?

Do leeks produce the same edible scape?

Can I add scapes ito Guacamole ?

Can you write down ingredients you put it in. Because English is my second language, it hard to follow up what we’re all ingredients about beside olive oil, salt, peeper, pine tree seeds. Thanks

I like your video but I see you speeded up the voice. 👎
