I grow an heirloom hardneck variety of garlic called Red Russian.  Hardneck varieties are more flavourful than many store-bought softneck varieties and have easy to peel cloves.  You will receive both the garlic bulbs and the scapes in your vegetable bags.  Garlic scapes are the long flower stem of the garlic that is harvested before the flower opens.

​

Storage

Store garlic bulbs in a cool, dark place, but do not refrigerate.  Store garlic scapes in a container or bag in the fridge.

​

Preparation

Garlic scapes have a more mild garlic flavour and can be used in many of the same ways you would use garlic bulbs.
