When garlic plants mature, some varieties produce flower stalks known as scapes, which are edible and offer a unique flavor.
These scapes are essentially tiny garlic flowers and are best harvested before they harden, as they become tough to eat.
Cutting off the scapes encourages larger bulbs with a more potent flavor, but you can also enjoy the scapes' garlicky taste in various dishes.
You can chop scapes into stir-fries, sauces, or even make a delicious garlic scape pesto, adding a unique twist to your meals.
