To Market, To Market, To Buy....Garlic Scapes

Marcia & Barb went scavenging on Saturday to the Farmer's Market in Liberty Lake, WA. Wow did we find some things.
Here we found something we thought Unusual. Garlic Scapes. You Californians may already know about these, but we've never seen or heard of them.
" The scapes are the flower stems that garlic plants produce before the bulbs mature. Growers often remove the scapes to push the plant’s energy toward bigger bulbs, and when harvested while they are young and tender, the scapes are delicious."

    I have never heard of those as well. Gilroy Garlic festival is next weekend. Wonder if they have them there. Although, I am not going to brave the heat.
