Mima, I'm no expert here, I only grow garlic and sell what I can't eat or plant, but I wonder if what you are looking for is the stalk that forms from the garlic bulb called a scape. When the scape is cut off when still young and tender, it is eaten in salads, used in soups, and is great when added to stir-fry. I am sure there are many more ways to enjoy them. These scapes will be garlicky but not nearly as intense as the bulb itself. When these scapes get older, they will be too tough to use but the head of the scape will be loaded with tiny garlic "bulb" that can be planted and will grow more scapes.

I have a bunch of scapes on the garlic I recently dug, but they are way to old and tough for anything but planting. Here's a picture of scapes. Ken

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
