Garlic scapes come from the same plant as garlic cloves. It's actually the stem of the plant, which is harvested around early summer. In cooking, it gives dishes to which it is added a savory aroma, more delicate than that of fresh or dried cloves.

Garlic scapes, whole or ground, can be used in soups, broths, or salad dressings. They also add a lot of flavor to marinades, dips, and vegetable or potato purées. Add them to vegetable parcels, fish and seafood dishes, or even to quiches or omelets.
