Garlic Scapes: A garlic scape is the flower stalk of a garlic plant, specifically the hardneck variety. These curly, green stalks appear in late spring and early summer and are typically harvested to encourage the garlic bulbs to grow larger. Here are some key details about garlic scapes: they are long, thin, and green, resembling curly green onions or chives. They have a distinctive spiral shape. The flavor of garlic scapes is milder and slightly sweeter than garlic bulbs. They have a fresh, grassy note with a hint of garlic.
Spigarello: is an Italian leafy green vegetable closely related to broccoli and kale. It is often considered a wild or heirloom variety of broccoli. The plants have long, slender, blue-green leaves that resemble a cross between kale and broccoli leaves. The plant itself can grow quite tall, up to 2-3 feet. Unlike broccoli, spigarello does not form a central head but produces small, edible flower buds similar to broccoli raab. The flavor of spigarello is mild and slightly sweet, with a hint of broccoli and a subtle bitterness akin to kale. It has a tender texture when cooked.
Purple snap peas: have rounder, thicker pods compared to snow peas and are typically more similar in shape to traditional snap peas. The pods are a vibrant purple color. They have a sweet, crisp flavor that is similar to green snap peas but with a slightly different, more nuanced taste.
