The flavor of garlic scapes is similar to that of green garlic, only milder with grassy and nutty tones. They can be grilled, roasted, sautéed, chopped, and added to soups or pureed into sauces. They have long been used as a traditional spring vegetable in Middle Eastern, Asian, and Southern and Eastern European cuisines. Garlic scape and pork fried rice or stir fry are some examples of popular dishes.
