Ramps look like tiny
leeks. The greens are delicate and can be used with
the white bulbs. The flavor is more assertive and
wild. They have a strong onion and garlic flavor
which tends to linger on the palate.
In spite of their humble Appalachian
origins, ramps can be rather expensive. Ramps can
be found at gourmet groceries or upscale produce
markets. They are available from early spring to
mid-summer. |
