What are garlic scapes?

Garlic scapes are the long green shoots that grow from the garlic bulb, and they are an amazing way to add garlicky flavor to your favorite dishes. Garlic scapes taste like a unique blend of onion, scallion and garlic. However, scapes are a bit milder and have a fresher, “greener” taste than the actual garlic bulbs. The texture is similar to that of asparagus.
