* Similar to leeks or scallions, but with a garlicky, oniony flavor.
* Both the white bulbs and green leaves are edible.
* Short season - enjoy them fresh in the spring!
Ways to use them:
* Raw:
* Finely sliced in salads, on tacos, or scrambled eggs.
* Sautéed:
* Add flavor to pasta, stir-fries, or omelets.
* Grilled/Roasted:
* Toss with oil, salt, and pepper. Great as a side or pizza topping.
* Pickled:
* Extends their short season.
* Pesto:

Tips:
* Clean well: Ramps grow in the wild, so wash thoroughly.
