Garlic flower, also known as garlic scape, is the flowering stalk that emerges from a garlic plant. It features a long, curly stem with a bulbous flower bud at the top. The flower bud is typically removed before it fully blooms to encourage the plant to focus its energy on bulb development. Garlic flowers have a mild garlic flavor and can be used in cooking to add a subtle garlic taste to dishes. They are often used in salads, stir-fries, and as a garnish. Garlic flowers are not as pungent as garlic cloves, making them a versatile ingredient for those who enjoy a more delicate garlic flavor.
