Bought garlic scapes at the market this week?
We will be making pesto with ours but here are some alternative ideas!
❓ Question of the Week: Wondering how to store your garlic scapes?
Here are a couple methods!
1) R E F R I G E R A T O R
After harvesting your scapes, put them in a plastic bag and fold it over. This will allow some condensation to escape but also keep the scapes slightly moist so they don't dry out. Then, but the bag in the crisper drawer. We've been able to get them to store for months like this, but of course, monitor them so they don't go bad.
2) F R E E Z I N G
Wash and dry the scapes, cut to the size that you want, put them in a bag, and freeze. We vacuum seal ours, but you can also use a normal freezer bag. Also, they can be blanched, but it is not necessary.
.. M O R E
Garlic scapes can also be dehydrated, freeze-dried, and pickled. Do some research and find recipes that work for you, and you'll be able to enjoy the fresh taste of scapes year round! 💚
