More delicate than garlic, they don\u2019t have that \u201cburning\u201d taste of garlic cloves. The fermentation process makes the raw scapes more easy to digest and they won\u2019t give you garlic breath. So fermented garlic scape butter will be much more digestible than traditional garlic butter and won\u2019t overpower the taste of your lobster or prawns.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to use, fermented garlic scapes will quickly season everyday meals as well as fancier dishes: salads, dressings, pasta, seafood, marinades, pizzas, sandwiches, vegetables, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Try <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lepetitmas.ca\/en\/products\/fermented-garlic-scapes.shtml\">Le Petit Mas fermented garlic flowers<\/a><strong>, <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lepetitmas.ca\/en\/points-of-sale\/index.shtml\">available year-round in stores.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lepetitmas.ca\/en\/points-of-sale\/index.shtml\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2155\" src=\"http:\/\/lepetitmas.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/trouvez-un-magasin.jpg\" alt=\"find-a-store\" width=\"200\" height=\"60\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h1><strong>Fresh garlic scapes<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Fresh garlic scapes can be eaten in two ways.<\/p>\n<p>Cook fresh garlic scapes like other vegetables. Their taste is similar to green beans or asparagus, but slightly sweeter. Fresh garlic scapes can be steamed, baked or fried. When you can easily poke them with a knife, they are ready to eat.\u00a0Add them to stir-fries, pizzas, quiches and more.<\/p>\n<p>Raw and finely chopped, fresh garlic scapes are a good substitute for green onions in salads, soups, etc. (1 garlic scape = 1 green onion).<\/p>\n<p>Most market gardeners sell garlic scapes seasonally (late June to mid-July).
