Those curly things that have been hanging out at your farmers market.
Perhaps you've been seeing wild-looking tangles of garlic scapes at your local farmers' market. These thin, curly, vibrantly green stalks come into season in the late spring and early summer, when they're often sold by the bunch. Garlic scapes are the stalks that grow from the bulbs of hardneck garlic plants. If left unharvested, the scapes eventually bloom flowers when the garlic plant fully matures.
Raw garlic scapes are crunchy like green beans or asparagus, but you can eat scapes raw or cooked, whole or chopped. Prepping them couldn't be easier: Just trim and discard the stringy tip of the scape, then cut crosswise, either into tiny coins or string bean-like stalks. The easiest way to think about cooking with garlic scapes is to use them the way you would use garlic or scallions, although there's hardly a wrong way to enjoy these tasty tendrils.
