Accepted Answer

Black garlic is white garlic that has been aged by warming the  garlic bulbs at about 140˚ to 190˚ F in high humidity for an extended  period of time, it gives black garlic its rich, tangy, molasses-like flavor and black color.

You can't plant the black garlic.

Question 6

What is a scape?

Accepted Answer

Scapes are edible flowers that grow on the stem of garlic. Scapes develop in June, and will eventually die on the stalk of garlic. We sell scapes in bundles at the market and make Garlic Scape Pesto. If you are using fresh scapes, they are great for grilling, soups, butter, hummus, or just as raw vegetables!
