For those who can't wait for the garlic harvest of mid-July, we have early garlic. Early garlic is the name for scapes or the top seed of the garlic plant. They appear about mid-June. These are the green shoots that grow out of the tops of the garlic plants. They appear only on the hardneck varieties.
In the past we removed the scapes from the plants so we could get larger bulbs. We have discovered that scapes fill a need for people with a desire for the taste of good organic garlic early in the season. We use them as a delicious substitute for garlic when last year's harvest has run out.
The scape has caught on in fine gourmet restaurants. The great taste of scapes is in demand. Chefs use scapes as garlic substitute when they can find them. Scapes provide an early substitute for fresh organic garlic for people with discriminating tastes.
The scapes we sell are orgnically grown and fresh and can be used in your recipies or those found on this site as a substitute for garlic. Now you don't have to wait for the fine flavor of fresh organic garlic. Try our fresh scapes - they will satisfy your taste buds until the new garlic crop is harvested.
