Questions we actually get.

Still stuck? Email hello@gourmendfoods.com — a real person on our team answers, usually same day.

Is it certified low FODMAP, or just labeled that way?

Certified. Independently tested and certified by FODMAP Friendly in Australia, a leading certification body for FODMAPs — tested low-FODMAP at one serving per person.

How can it taste like garlic without the bulb?

Because it isn’t made from the bulb. The FODMAPs in alliums concentrate in the bulb, not the greens. Scapes are the tender green shoots of the garlic plant — delicate, nuanced garlic flavor, without the fructans.

Is there any salt in it?

None. It’s a single ingredient with nothing added, so you salt to taste — which also means it won’t fight whatever else is in the pan.

What’s actually in the bottle?

One ingredient and nothing else. Nearly a pound of fresh organic scapes is freeze-dried and milled into each bottle. No maltodextrin, no starches, no “natural flavors”, no preservatives.

How much do I use?

Start with ½ tsp Garlic Scape Powder per garlic clove your recipe calls for, then adjust to taste — or 1.5 tsp for every 1 tsp of garlic powder. A little goes a long way.

Will it work for SIBO, IBS or an elimination diet?

It’s built for exactly that: no onion or garlic bulb, no gums, no yeast extract, no maltodextrin, no preservatives. As always, follow your dietitian’s plan for your own protocol phase.

What if I don’t like it?

Covered by our 30-day happy-gut guarantee: if it isn’t right, email us within 30 days and we’ll make it right. See guarantee details.

7 Ways to Use Garlic Scape Powder

Seasoning roasted vegetables

To season roasted vegetables, toss your garlic scape powder in with olive oil, salt and pepper and roast your vegetables at 350-400° until done to your liking. They'll taste better than ever!

Adding flavor to proteins, meats and fish

To add flavor to proteins like steak, shrimp or chicken, sprinkle them with some garlic scape powder, salt and pepper and other spices of your choosing. You’ll be happy you did!

Low FODMAP tomato sauce

For a flavorful tomato sauce, saute garlic scape powder and fresh chives in olive oil. Then stir in your tomato puree with some salt and pepper, simmering everything on low (adding more seasoning, if needed, until you achieve the desired flavor).

Low FODMAP Risotto

For a risotto, you can lightly sauté some olive oil, garlic scape powder and chives before you add the arborio rice. During cooking, don’t forget to season with salt and pepper. Fold in some freshly grated FODMAP-friendly aged cheese like Grana Padano or Parmesan near the end.

Low FODMAP Stir Fry

In a stir fry, you can heat up some peanut and sesame oil, add some garlic scape powder and fresh or powdered ginger. Then toss in any vegetables or proteins you like and give them a nice sear (avoiding overcrowding so you don't steam vs. sear) while adding a dash of salt, pepper, soy sauce, sesame seeds and lemon juice.

Low FODMAP Sauces & Gravies

For a pan sauce, melt about a tablespoon of butter in the pan you've just cooked your meat in, scraping up any leftover bits and incorporating. Then add some chives or scallions and garlic scape powder and sauté until softened. Stir in about a ½ cup of red wine, a dash of soy sauce and a drip of balsamic vinegar. Reduce it by half, then whisk in more butter until it's your desired thickness.

Low FODMAP Indian

For Indian flavors, try sautéing some garlic scape powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric and mustard seeds. Once the seeds begin to pop, add your vegetables or proteins and simmer for a very flavorful outcome. Garnish your finished dish with some fresh cilantro if you like!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are garlic scapes and how is this made?

Garlic scapes are the long, edible green stalks and flower buds that grow from hardneck garlic plants in late spring and early summer. This seasonal product makes them a unique treat for garlic lovers and by freeze-drying them and turning them into a powder, we can enjoy them year round.

We start by sourcing organic garlic scapes from local farms. To ensure only the low FODMAP parts of the plant make it into our powder, we trim all the scapes and clean them without the use of chemicals.

Our scapes are then chopped and freeze dried for optimal flavor and nutrient retention. This produces an aromatic, shelf-stable powder that will last for many years (though we're sure you'll enjoy it so much, it'll be gone in weeks!). Production of our Garlic Scape Powder is done entirely in the United States.

How do I know this is low in FODMAPs?

Our proprietary seasoning has been tested by FODMAP Friendly, a trusted source for testing FODMAP levels in foods. Only trace amounts of FODMAPs were detected, so you can enjoy as much garlic chive powder as you like. A low FODMAP diet does not treat a disease but may help to meet nutritional needs with reduced gastrointestinal symptoms.

How is this different from garlic powder?

Garlic powder is made from the high-FODMAP crushed bulbs of garlic plants. Garlic scapes are the tender stem and flower bud of hard neck garlic plants which are low-FODMAP in moderate amounts. They are available only once per growing season, making them an extra special treat. Garlic scape powder tastes slightly sweeter, smoother and more mild than traditional dried and fresh garlic.

How long will my garlic scape powder last?

Because our garlic scape powder is freeze dried, it should maintain most of its flavor and aroma for many years. That said, we recommend enjoying all dried herbs and spices as quickly as possible for maximum flavor.

What do I do with Garlic Scape Powder?

If your favorite home-cooked dish calls for garlic, you don’t have to banish that flavor from your dinner table forever. Sprinkle in about 1/4 tsp of our Garlic Scape Powder (per serving) to add a little zest to vegetables, soups or meats. If you have a recipe that calls for garlic powder, you can use our Garlic Scape Powder in its place. Gourmend’s Garlic Scape Powder is a certified option for low FODMAP cooking, when used in moderate amounts.

What are the ingredients?

Our Garlic Scape Powder is made from a blend of different heirloom garlic scape varieties such as Amish Rocambole, Armenian, Chesnok Red, German Red, Majestic, Music, Persian Star, Romanian Red, Spanish Roja and more. And that's it. No preservatives, fillers, stabilizers or additives of any kind.

Are there any preservatives?

No, absolutely not. You won’t find any additives, fillers, preservatives, stabilizers, anti-caking agents, or gluten in this spice. Our Garlic Scape Powder is all goodness, so you can feel good about using it in your favorite recipes!

Will the powder cake or stick together?

We don’t use any preservatives or anti-caking agents, so this remains a possibility. However, because this is a freeze dried powder (meaning virtually all moisture has been removed from the product), if you store it in a dry, dark cupboard in its original glass bottle, the powder should stay loose for a very long time. We do NOT recommend placing this in the fridge.

What is heirloom garlic?

Heirloom garlic is a garlic variety that was grown by previous generations (for at least 50 years). Heirloom varieties are not commonly used in today's commercial agriculture. To be considered heirloom, these varieties must keep their traits uniformly through open pollination making our scapes both extra flavorful and rare.

Is your packaging environmentally friendly?

Our scape powder is packaged in glass jars. We’ve chosen glass because it is an easily recyclable, sustainable, inert material that does not leach any plastic flavors into the spice.

What if I don’t like it?

Although we cannot accept returns of food products, even if the product is unopened, it is important to us that you are happy with your purchase. If you have any concerns, contact us about our Satisfaction Guarantee at hello@gourmendfoods.com and we’ll help you find a solution!
