Organic Garlic Scapes Freeze Dried

Description

3oz Freeze Dried Garlic Scapes – Certified Organic

New larger bag 3oz of freeze dried garlic scapes.

We have taken our organic garlic scapes and freeze dried them.  When the scapes are freeze dried they have a light, airy, dry texture with a mild garlic onion flavor.  Freeze drying takes out all of the water content making them light and airy, while leaving all the nutrients.  They can be eaten right out of the bag for a garlic flavor treat.  We have local chefs adding them to salads for a light crunch.  They can also be reconstituted in water which will bring back the fresh garlic scape very similar to its June just picked flavor.  We use them everywhere we want a garlic like flavor, and we add them to our soups, roasts, taco meat, spaghetti sauce, pastas, salad dressings, sauces, dips, and so on.  They can even be blended up into a powder and added as a seasoning.

Our freeze dried garlic scapes are pure as they come.  We rinse them, freeze dry them, and package them.  There are no additives or preservatives.  With freeze dried foods, you should keep the air out so they don’t pick up moisture in the air.  So, we have packaged them in Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers.  Freeze dried food has a shelf life of 25 years.

We add freeze dried garlic scapes to our dishes using the scapes to add a mild garlic, onion, scallion flavor.  To reconstitute freeze dried garlic scapes, put scapes in a bowl or measuring cup, add water to cover.  Wait a few minutes. Add to your dish.  Or, add to the dish you are cooking as long as it has water content in it like soups, salad dressings, broth from the roasts, etc.  The dried scapes will start to hydrate and take their old form of garlic scapes.  We find that the garlic scapes don’t reconstitute to resemble fresh scapes which has not been our intent anyway when using in dishes.

Garlic Scape is an edible flower stem that grows from the center of hard neck garlic. It has a strong onion garlic flavor different from garlic cloves and adds a different garlic flavor profile that is prized by chefs and used in many Asian and Eastern European dishes.  As more American farms are growing heirloom hard neck garlic, we are able to find garlic scapes at local farmers markets or through online sales during it very short season in June annually.

We prepare our garlic powders and garlic spice blends in our own licensed kitchen that usually only produces seasonings and pesto to prevent cross contamination.  We have food allergies, and we are extremely careful about making sure our garlic does not come in contact with other allergens.  We use this garlic powder exclusively, and we want not only our food to be safe, but yours too!
