3 Ways To Preserve Garlic Scapes | How To Preserve Garlic Scapes | Storing Garlic Scapes

[@teknofonix]

I didn't even know what a garlic scape was until last year when I grew garlic for the first time, this video was just what I was looking for - thank you

Oh my, the flip the edge of the storage bag so as to not ruin the seal hack is awesome!

[@genepurdum2745]

We have about 200 scapes to deal with every year and freeze most of them, but I flash freeze them first so they are easier to "pour" when we go to use them. Just spread them out on parchment paper on a baking tray, put in the freezer for an hour, then into the plastic bag. You can also dehydrate them until brittle dry and grind up in a coffee grinder to make garlic powder.

You will never know how much of a blessing this comment is to us. Being a KZbinr can be very rewarding but sometimes it can be discouraging too.

@@artofcreationhomestead I would never guess discouraged from watching y'all. ♥️

[@waunitawitmer1284]

great explanation! I was never sure what to discard and what to use in cooking so thanks for the thorough video

[@angelaraum1545]

Great ideas. You can also store in Mason jars that will extend longer than Ziploc bags.

I just got my first bunch of garlic scapes ever! As a crazy garlic lover I’ve never heard of them… OMG DELICIOUS!!! THANK YOU for the valuable information!

[@artofcreationhomestead]

I completely agree, they are delicious. I was so happy when I found out that I could freeze them and enjoy them out of season.

[@loripretti843]

THANK YOU for this video! I am SO enamored of garlic scapes (after first hearing the term from Karen Bertelsen of the blog "The Art of Doing Stuff" several years ago), that I just bought 3 pounds of them at my (not so) local Asian market that I make a special trip to visit every couple of weeks! Thank you for this video, because as a singleton, I wondered how on earth I was going to preserve these things! Raw or cooked, they're absolutely fantastic, so great in salads, raw! BUTTTT....should the scapes be blanched first for a few minutes before their frozen, like many other veggies?

[@artofcreationhomestead]

No, scapes are one of those things that do not have to be blanched first. They can just be chopped and put in the freezer.

Great video! Thank you!

[@sherylhumberger5417]

Love your video.

[@Rusty6450]

have you considered dehydrating them? I have some now and may consider that.

[@northwestgardener5076]

Great video, I only have 35 plants this year so,,, they will never make it to a freezer. I have also left them out for over a week on the counter and on the end that was cut they developed little white balls (very small) they had another garlic flavor that was different than the scapes. It was an accident but if you oops,,, it's not all bad.

[@susannemarieschuster3974]

I dehydrate mine after I put them in food processor and sprinkle them on when I cook

[@TellyaLater-qx3eg]

Thank you

[@artofcreationhomestead]

Thank you for watching.

[@silkiesandsuch]

I love garlic in general, and the scapes are my favorite part! I’d always been told they were only worth eating when completely fresh and stuck to using them that way. I’m glad to finally hear otherwise. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on the matter. Have you ever tried drying them? I’m wondering if that lovely flavor would survive the process.

[@artofcreationhomestead]

Learning that I could preserve them was a game changer for me. As far as drying them. I really don't know if they could hold their flavor. They probably could be freeze dried better than dehydrated.

[@DuckGuy-1957]

You should get yourself a 'vac pack' machine if you want to remove ALL the air. _I wouldn't want to live without one. Too many uses to list._ Thanks for the vid!

[@christyconway9342]

loved the chopping to the beat of the music😉🎶

[@artofcreationhomestead]

Thank you so much. I thought it would be fun to put the music in.
