Proper preservation and storage of garlic scapes brings high value-added benefits
Garlic scapes should be harvested at the curved-scape stage, generally in mid-May in Shandong. The best harvesting method is pulling the scape, as this causes a small wounded area; if cut, the wounded area is large and prone to mold infection. After purchasing garlic scapes, transport them promptly to the storage site and avoid mechanical damage. When sorting the garlic scapes, remove the scape sheath, cut off the fibrous base portion, and discard damaged, rotten, overly swollen scape bulbs and excessively thin scapes. Then tie the garlic scapes into bundles, align the scape bulbs, and bind them straight and tight. Before loading into the warehouse, the warehouse must be disinfected by burning 5-10 grams of sulfur per cubic meter
