Another purchase ruined by leeks! The leeks taste like scallions, and the garlic sprouts taste like garlic shoots. Let's all work together and return any scallions we receive so we can have garlic sprouts instead.

Very fresh and tender. My favorite dish. Delicious!
Mindy
The garlic shoots are great, with an authentic flavor, sweet, tender, and refreshing.
贾老师
The garlic scapes were very fragrant and flavorful, just a little too old. The texture was still quite good, though. I'd suggest using slightly younger, tender scapes next time for an even more perfect result.
需折點
Very fresh, the whole family loves it!
HXF
I really like it, it's really great.
海之恋
It's obviously a local product, which is good. The ones I bought at the supermarket looked nice, but I saw news reports saying they were soaked in chemicals, so I'm hesitant to buy them.
peijunfan24
These garlic shoots are really good, but they're very expensive. They're very fresh, so I guess I'll just stir-fry them with the carrots.
黄作华
The garlic scapes are quite tender, and the price is reasonable. I've bought them multiple times.
