Default Garlic flowers

My garlic plants are beginning to flower. I seem to recall reading

or do I leave them on the plants?


Probably garlic bulbils.

Eat them, make new plants with them, ignore them, or chop them off.

Chopping them off might in theory mean more resource expenditure
on the rest of the plant - but I don't know if anyone bothers.
