We discovered them when our CSA sent them in our bag several weeks in a row. I chop 'em up and add them to salad, gazpacho topping and sauteed into my morning scrambled eggs. Thanks for the refreshing photos. Garlic scapes are beautiful and fun to use. We discovered them when our CSA sent them in our bag several weeks in a row.

They morph into fantastic (and lasting) shapes as they dry..... Also came across a posting this morning for Dried Garlic Scape Seasoning - chop or food process the scapes into small pieces - dehydrate - then in a coffee grinder make as fine as you like - use all year for seasoning everything that wants a light, bright garlic flavour.
