What is it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Young Garlic is the plant before the bulb matures and the paper layer forms between the garlic clove segments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Young Garlic is available only in Spring – it is harvested as growers thin plants in the field by removing some young plants to give remaining plants space between to grow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Flavor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The flavor of green garlic is between mature garlic and a scallion (or green onion.) It is mildly pungent and less strong than mature garlic but has a distinct garlic flavor. Usually the tip with the root end is cut off and discarded. Like a scallion the green and white portion is all edible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terminology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Young Garlic is also called Green Garlic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Garlic Scapes” are not the same thing. Scapes are the flowering stem that grows when garlic bulbs are near maturity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
