Learn how to Dehydrate GARLIC Scapes

[@homesteadrevivals]

The tips are delicious! Also, if you put a cloth liner on the trays, you can pulse the scapes in your food processor to shred them and put the shreds on your lined trays. They will dry much better and more quickly if you shred those tough "skins". Then, powder the dried product as needed. I dry about seven bushels a year, and that's the best way that I've found. Next year, I'll use my new freeze dryer and save some labor.

Wow thanks for the great tip. Lucky you a freeze dryer! ☺️

[@poodeelah]

Very nice. I freeze mine; Chopped up after washing and thoroughly drying. A medium freezer bag. Easily available when cooking. I use anywhere I would normally use garlic. It’s nice to have early in the season, while awaiting your garlic to be harvested and cured.

Hi. Thats a great tip! Thanks for sharing!

[@glendalivingston6236]

Really helpful! My local store sells this in small baggies for quite a lot $. Using scapes is a win-win venture!

[@LivingOffTheLand]

If you lived close to me you could have them for free!!

[@glendalivingston6236]

@@LivingOffTheLand That is sweet! I live in Alberta and grow a large amount on our farm. In the past I dried the 1st year garlic rounds but the scapes make more sense and cents! I hope your garden year is a good one !

[@LivingOffTheLand]

@@glendalivingston6236 I wish you a bountiful garden as well!!

I have a mountain of scapes like yours that I just removed today. I was going to make pesto but I have to get more planting done, more sweet corn, swedish brown beans, melons, etc. I have an Excalibur dehydrator that does a great job. I didn't even think of dehydrating the scapes. I will make the time to follow your advice. Garlic is an absolute staple in my home. Thank you.

[@LivingOffTheLand]

So glad I could help. Whatever part of the world you are, your garden is further along than mine. Mine scapes are not even out yet! Thanks for stopping by!

[@kaliegardner9772]

Do you think one they are dehydrated you could put them in olive oil for a gsrlic infused oil?

[@LivingOffTheLand]

Hi. Here is what I found. The source is linked below extension.umaine.edu/publications/4385e/#:~:text=Using%20dried%20garlic%20and%2For,olive%20or%20other%20vegetable%20oil.

[@dmurph1320]

Maybe you could chop them up finer to dry so they take less time, since you ended up using parchment paper anyway!

[@LivingOffTheLand]

That is definitely what I will be doing this year! Great idea. Thanks for the tip!

[@lindamurphy3214]

Just seeing this video now....tried doing this before I watched. I didnt cut mine up...started at 95° then raised to 120°. Mine are turning a brown green. Did I ruin them?

[@LivingOffTheLand]

Hi. Sorry they didn"t turn out as expected. Probably the only way to know if they are ruined is to grind them and see what it tastes like. I am worried they may have burned a bit. If they are not all brown, maybe you can pick out the brown pieces.

[@lindamurphy3214]

@@LivingOffTheLand thanks for responding. I'll forge ahead and see what happens. Have done alot of dehydrating....just not scapes before. First time growing garlic. Just not sure how they could burn with my temps so low 🤷‍♀️ been a couple of days....so maybe just too long? Oh well....have to.try again next year. Thank you!

[@esantone0398]

@@lindamurphy3214hey did it turn out ok to powder? mine started turning brown a but too so i lowered it just now to 105 degrees. maybe because i washed them and patted dry prior?

[@dianekilbourne5734]

Can you use parchment paper to put them on ? OR can you blend them in a food processor ( or whatever you have) and then use the chopped up scapes?

[@LivingOffTheLand]

Hi. I just made some garlic scape salt (I did post a video) and thats what I did. I chopped the fresh scapes in a food processor added salt(you can skip that part if you just want powder) and dried in the oven on parchment paper. I am assuming if it is not fine enough you could process again once dry until you get the desired consistency. I have not tried it this way just so you know. But the salt is pretty close to this. If you do let me know how it goes!
