Very Sweet, Light, Green
This is the ONE! If you like garlic, you'll love ramps. You will scowl at the next delivery of cultivated green onions. Let us look at the applications for this beautiful Spring Plant: Raw, Salads, Pickled, Sauteed, Blanched, Stir Fry, Beer Battered, Tempura, Grilled, Roasted, Stewed, Pureed, and anything else that one can imagine. The window is beginning to close already...
Silky, "Green" Flavor
The Nettle can be added to soups, "sets", sauces, and salads. The Nettle leaves must be soaked in water or cooked to remove the "stinging" aspect of the plant. The Stinging Nettle have small hollow hairs that act as hypodermic needles that inject histamine. Blanch, Soak, Puree, Stew.
