It’s Ramp season! Also called spring onions, ramson, wild leeks, and even wild garlic, Ramps have a pungent aroma that mellows out once they’re cooked.
The harvest usually begins in late March/early April, with the tell-tale sign being the hearty wild leek leaves bursting through the soil in woodland areas. The season starts off with very thin stems and leaves, and as the short season progresses, they become thicker, and the leaves can be quite large.
The leaves are delicate, and they can become creased, folded, or wrinkled during packing. Since they are most often used cooked, it is not an issue and just something accepted with this delicate item, much like mulberries are always wet upon arrival. While related to leeks, the flavor of ramps is a bit more pungent, but never overpowering.
Ramps are generally available from mid-to-late March, into April with their greens, then sometimes just as bulbs as their season wanes. They are highly perishable and may require a pre-order. Ramp up your spring menu and Contact your Sales Consultant about adding some to your next order.
