Garlic scapes or garlic flowers?

When we began farming garlic in Quebec (Canada) in 1989, garlic scapes were very rarely used and commercialized. So we began using the term “garlic flowers” instead of garlic scapes and have since grown fond of it!

The benefits of lactic fermentation

The lactic fermentation of our garlic scapes has many benefits:

1) It keeps the products alive and good for your health.

2) It preserves the vegetables for several years through an entirely natural process. Once opened, you can keep your fermented garlic scapes jar in the fridge for up to 2 years! We bet that you’ll finish your jar well before it expires!

3) It creates new flavours, which is why our fermented garlic scapes are so good!
