Springtime means it’s green garlic season! If you’ve never worked with green garlic, you are in for a treat!
Green garlic is just regular hardneck garlic that you are used to seeing - the only difference is that the ‘green’ version is harvested in the springtime while the leaves are still green and before the bulb is fully formed. Basically, it’s baby garlic!
You can use green garlic anywhere you’d use regular garlic, but it especially shines in soups and salads, where the freshness and subtleties of the flavor can take center stage.
