Indeed, these were quite easy to clean. Also as the bulbs were quite young there wasn't much discoloration and damage on the outer scales and that helps a lot!

I really loved the taste of these . I simply mixed the scales with some lemon juice, black pepper, salt and butter and baked them in aluminum foil in the oven for around 35-40 minutes. These were not sweet and perhaps the best description would be to say that they tasted like a mixture of oily Avocado and a mealy Potato, but still not quite as the scales have a unique surface texture that contrast very well with the soft, mealy and buttery inside. The oven baking also gave a slightly roasted tone and color to the surface of some of the scales and that brought out additional taste.

I also made a mixture of soy sauce, fresh ginger, garlic from the garden and home made chili sauce that was poured over at serving time and this turned out to be a total success .
