Garlic Scapes! The curling top of the garlic plant. Cutting off the garlic scape helps produce larger garlic bulbs at harvest. Garlic scapes can be used to make pesto, added in stir fries or as a replacement for garlic. Last year my garlic scapes sat in my fridge too long and I ended throwing them out to my compost of course, but not this year....I'm ready to tackle new cooking experiences. How about you?

I love beet greens. I add them to salads and stir fries. Beans and Greens are one of the best sources for calcium. Although beet greens, along with spinach and swiss chard have lots of calcium, they are also high in oxalates. Oxalates bind to calcium and reduce how much is absorbed.

My first CSA Pickup for the Week! Kale, Carrots, Radishes, Beets with greens, cilantro, salad greens, garlic scapes, and strawberries. Now, the challenge for me is to figure out what to do with this food. I hope to share what I'm making so it may inspire you to cook more plants too! Thank you Avodah Sustainable Acres for growing such lovely produce.
