So, I started a Farm Share, or CSA (Community Shared Agriculure), where I get a box of produce (and eggs!) straight from the farm every week. So, I picked up my box today, and I don't know what one of the vegetables is! Never seen it before...
Its green and straight at the bottom, and curls wildly at the top. It doesn't have a strong smell either...
In the pic, its beside the asparagus and curls all the way over to below the tomato, lol.

Does anybody know?

I was going to say chives also.0

Garlic chives (I only know this because my cousins also get them in their CSA box)0

I would say Garlic chives
.. My guess is decently supported by using Google Images.

Aha! I found the name of them, they're Garlic Scrapes (weird name)! They actually taste SO good. In my research I took a big bite of one and now I have breath that could scare away vampires.
Planning on making Garlic Scrape Butter tonight0 -
*Garlic Scapes... Not Scrapes. I guess my brain just assumed it was Scrape, haha0

Garlic Scapes. They were EVERYWHERE at the Farmer's Market last weekend.0

it's a garlic scape - the flower stalk of garlic plants. they are yummy! use like you would garlic or even spring onions. they make a great pesto too0
-
They make a super pesto too... Dump it all in a food processor. I use roasted walnuts or almonds instead of the pine nuts and low fat parmesan. Measure in the olive oil til its the consistency you want. Super on pasta!
I'm in a CSA in London Ontario and I love it. Can't wait for Veggie Thursday!0 -
Try slicing it, it could be chives or green onion and the smell will be more pungent when the veggie is cut!0
-
Check out this page I found with things to do with them! Now I want some!

Yup this is what it is. My CSA has been putting them in boxes as well.0 -
Looks like garlic scrapes!0
-
Those are great in scrambled eggs!0

Yep - garlic scapes. Slightly milder than garlic but you can put them in just about anything you'd put garlic in.
Meanwhile - love having a CSA - I eat so many more veggies now than ever before. Got mine today and spent the evening prepping veggies for various use. :-)0 -
Yummy! Love garlic scapes!0
