Garlic propagation occurs through seeds. A peduncle resembling an arrow forms in the middle of the bulb, where the grains ripen. At the very beginning, the tube is twisted into rings, but over time it straightens out. The inflorescence that appears at the top of the arrow looks like a ball. The inflorescence itself consists of small balls. The grains are inside these balls, and their shell is so thin that it resembles parchment. When the time comes for ripening, the “parchment” cracks and the seeds scatter around.
What to do with the garlic arrows that are left?
Cut off or leave
It is better to remove these buds immediately. This is what all experienced gardeners do. As soon as the arrow appears, the inflorescence is cut off, otherwise all the forces that should have gone into the development of the cloves will go into the bud. The sooner this procedure is carried out, the better.
In what cases is the arrow left behind?
You only need to leave arrows on some plants. It is by these that you can determine when the garlic is ripe. As soon as the inflorescences begin to burst, you can dig the heads with cloves out of the ground.
Some people remove all the arrows and use the calendar as their guide, but this method is not the most reliable. After all, the calendar cannot predict the weather, and the ripening period of the crop largely depends on it.
But if, nevertheless, the arrows were torn off, do not be upset, since garlic is quite tenacious.
Is it worth throwing away arrows?
Many people wonder: what to do with garlic arrows? They make very tasty dishes, and they can be cooked either separately or added to meat and porridge. They are salted and pickled, eaten raw, and some even manage to make jam from garlic arrows. So if the question arises about what to do with garlic shoots for the winter, then there are plenty of options. For those who love to cook, this is just a godsend.
But cooking is not the only area where straws can be used. What else can you do with garlic arrows?
Pest Control
Garlic arrows can be used instead of chemicals. It's all about the garlic essential oil. It is rich in phytoncides, which not only repel pests, but also kill pathogens. It is thanks to phytoncides that garlic has a specific smell and pungency. What to make from garlic arrows? You can make excellent aphids too. Such a remedy can also be prepared from tops and cloves, but the arrows appear much earlier, and they are the same in effectiveness.
You need to take half a kilo of arrows, chop them finely and grind them thoroughly until you get a homogeneous paste. Transfer the resulting mixture into a three-liter jar and fill with water at room temperature. Then the container is placed in a dark place for five days. Then the liquid is filtered. Afterwards you need to prepare a solution by mixing ten liters of water, fifty grams of soap and sixty grams of infusion.
This infusion is used to spray various crops affected by pests. It is best to treat plants in the evening or in cloudy weather. Spraying should be repeated approximately every four days. Often, insects disappear from such a product after the first treatment, but it is still advisable to play it safe. Another similar solution can be prepared from garlic leaves. You need to infuse 150 grams in ten liters of water. By the way, this solution is also suitable for the prevention of late blight.
How to get rid of carrot flies
These pests cannot tolerate the strong garlic smell either. And this is another answer to the question of what to do with garlic arrows. You need to twist two hundred grams of arrows in a meat grinder, and grate fifty grams of soap. Pour all this with ten liters of water and wait until the soap is completely dissolved.
Immediately after this, you can spray the crop. This remedy can be used against apple stem and caterpillars. The main thing is to spray the trees before the first color appears.
Medicinal garlic
Both garlic cloves and arrows are widely used in folk medicine. They are used to make both rubs and infusions against colds, as well as remedies for thorns and warts. And this is not the entire list of what you can do with garlic arrows to maintain health.
You can also make fertilizer from these tubes. To do this, they are simply added to the compost.
How to cook
Garlic is widely used in cooking. What to do with garlic arrows? There are a lot of recipes. The arrows can be used like regular garlic cloves. But there are also dishes that are prepared only with these tubes. Dishes can be of varying complexity and with any number of ingredients.
Simple omelette
Strict proportions are not specified; it all depends on personal preferences. You just need to beat the eggs with milk or water. Salt must be added. The arrows need to be fried in oil, perhaps with the addition of pepper, after finely chopping them. Garlic is considered ready when the arrows turn dark green. At this stage you need to pour eggs into the pan. Now you can reduce the heat, cover the dish with a lid and wait until fully cooked. This is the simplest option, but it can be supplemented with various vegetables and spices.
Braised tubes
This dish contains very few ingredients, the arrows themselves, salt, tomato paste (juice) and vegetable oil.
You need to fry the arrows until cooked, then salt them and add tomato. That's the whole recipe. Now the fire should be set to minimum and wait until they are cooked. The finished dish is somewhat reminiscent of spicy mushrooms.
Fried arrows
The same simple recipe as the previous ones. The tubes need to be washed and cut. Heat the oil well and put it in it immediately. Then the tubes will release juice, which is needed for stewing. But when all the juice has evaporated, the heat needs to be increased so that the arrows are thoroughly fried. It takes ten minutes to get the dish ready. This dish is served as a side dish and goes well with meat and fish.
Few people know that more complex dishes can be made from garlic arrows.
Pumpkin puree soup
The main ingredient here is, of course, pumpkin, but the unusual and piquant taste of the dish depends on the arrows. By the way, such a dish can be prepared for two days at once, it does not lose either its taste or beneficial properties.
We will need half a glass of fresh arrows, half a medium-sized pumpkin, about two liters of vegetable broth, leeks, a little olive oil, a couple of cloves of garlic, a couple of spoons of soy sauce, salt, pepper, and spices.
First you need to stew the onion in vegetable oil, then add the garlic and spices. Finely chopped pumpkin and broth are sent next. After the liquid boils, reduce the heat and wait half an hour. All that remains is to add soy sauce and grind the soup in a blender. The dish is decorated with finely chopped arrows before serving.
Meat dish
The fact that you can also make meat dishes with garlic arrows will also be a discovery for many. It is best to use beef here; there are no exact proportions; everyone prepares the amount of meat that he needs in a given situation. You will also need garlic tubes, onions, soy sauce, a little sugar, vegetable oil, pepper, sesame seeds, and of course, you can’t do without salt.
You need to heat the oil well in a frying pan, and then put the thinly sliced meat there. Fry for a couple of minutes, then reduce the heat, add water and simmer until the beef is tender. Perhaps the water will boil away, then it will need to be added.
When the meat becomes soft, place chopped onion and garlic arrows on top of the pieces. Fry for another five minutes. Again you need to add water and simmer until the arrows become soft. This will take about five minutes. Then all the other ingredients go into the pan. There are only a couple of minutes left until the end of cooking.
And what is made from garlic arrows for the winter? Also a very common question.
Preparation for the winter
We are talking about a very interesting gas station. It is easy to prepare, but quite multifunctional. Essentially, this is a recipe for pickling garlic arrows. This preparation can be added to borscht, soups, all kinds of sauces, and meat dishes. With the addition of this dressing you can make an excellent garlic butter for sandwiches. Just take the butter out of the refrigerator to soften it a little and mix it with the dressing using a blender.
And if you twist the lard through a meat grinder and add this garlic clove to it, you will get an excellent sandwich putty. One of the main nuances when preparing such a dressing is that the arrows must be young. Over time, they dry out greatly and become fibrous.
So how do you make garlic paste?
You will need half a kilo of the arrows themselves, a teaspoon of salt and two tablespoons of vegetable oil.
The arrows should be washed thoroughly and placed on a paper towel or cutting board to dry a little. Be sure to cut off the inflorescences and cut the tubes themselves. It’s not worth chopping very finely, then grind them anyway.
Now the arrows are sent to a blender and crushed to a crumb state. Alternatively, grind it in a meat grinder. Now it's a matter of small things. Add vegetable oil and salt. It is worth remembering that, as with any other winter preparations, iodized salt is not suitable here. Only rock table salt. All that remains is to mix everything well.
Or you can put the dressing into bags or containers and put it in the freezer. Here everyone chooses the most convenient option for themselves. As it turned out, garlic arrows can be used not only in cooking, but also in the household. These feathers are so multifunctional.
Surely for many people our article will be interesting, since few people know that very tasty and original dishes can be prepared from garlic arrows. At the beginning of summer, garlic produces flower stalks, which gardeners must remove in order to obtain a successful harvest in the form of large heads.
Most people just throw them in the trash. We propose using green shoots in cooking and provide a selection of recipes for what can be prepared from garlic shoots.
How to cook garlic arrows
This is the above-ground part of the plant, which consists of long green “tubes”. They appear in June. After reaching a length of 10-15 cm, they must be broken off so that all the nutrients go to the development of garlic heads.
You can prepare a huge number of tasty and healthy dishes from the green part of garlic. You can make a sauce from them, add them to a salad, fry them, boil them in soup, marinate, prepare them in a special way in Korean, Chinese, or ferment them.
Peduncles grow in only 2 weeks. Of course, their shelf life is very short, but they can be prepared for future use - canned or frozen, prepared into oil, so that during the winter period, characterized by frequent epidemics of viral infections, they can be consumed as a vitamin product and medicinal product.
Garlic arrows improve digestion, intestinal activity, and prevent the development of atherosclerosis, hypertension, and infectious diseases. They can even kill dysentery bacillus, staphylococcus, and various pathogenic fungi.
Did you know? Garlic is one of the oldest plants, which was cultivated approximately 6 thousand years ago. Presumably, this was first done in Central Asia. And from this area the plant spread to the ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Romans. Garlic was brought to the territory of modern Russia by the Byzantines.

- Fresh garlic arrows;

Algorithm:
- Sort through the fresh arrows, wash and remove the finest components. Why should you choose only fresh products? Of course, overripe arrows practically do not differ in their characteristics from fresh greens, but after cooking you will feel the difference: ripe ones are tougher. Arrows whose thickness is equal to the inflorescence are most suitable for consumption.
- Cut the washed and cleaned arrows into even strips five to seven centimeters long.
- Prepare a frying pan with high sides and add vegetable oil to it. There should be enough oil, otherwise the delicacy will stick to the bottom of the pan, and this will cause you unnecessary difficulties and spoil the overall taste. Add the main ingredient to the pan.
- Fourth step - add salt, pepper and other spices you like to taste. Of course, this is not necessary: if you skip this step, the dish will still turn out tasty and aromatic due to the original taste of the main ingredient.
- After adding to the prepared frying pan, the arrows will begin to release juice and stew in it. After the ingredient softens, excess moisture will evaporate under the influence of temperature and it will begin to fry. When the garlic tops begin to fry, you can turn up the heat: then the dish will be ready in ten to fifteen minutes.
- Place the dish on a plate. The result of cooking can be eaten separately or as a side dish for meat or fish dishes. After we have decided on the recipe for making fried garlic arrows, you can familiarize yourself with other ways to use this ingredient.
