garlic stems

I've never eaten the foliage, mostly because once the garlic is almost ripe, the foliage goes downhill very fast. Also, you must watch out for rust spots on the leaves, something you don't want to eat either.

I suppose if you try it early in the season it might be edible but then you'd limit the nutrients and energy to the plant overall.

By all means, try them and let us know how they were. We could be missing out on a useful food source.
