Garlic - seed heads - what do I do with them
« on: May 27, 2010, 11:37 »
I noticed yesterday that some of my garlic has what looks to be seed heads on them. Do I need to chop them like you do with onions, will they not store well now?

some varieties do this, can't remember which types now though  :unsure:
Just cut the flower scapes off and use them in stir fries YUM. The bulbs should still store ok :)

Do you know, you can buy packs of these in posh supermakets like Booths? That's got to be a good earner!
