Consider This-Ethical Harvesting of Wild Leeks
Wed, 04/14/2010 - 13:33 — Lisa
It's the season for Wild Leeks. Also known as Ramps a Lily family perennial
and a wild green delectable, edible food that is part of the Garlic and
Onion family. Though without the strong bite of Garlic and the eye watering
intensity of Onions. Ramps are found growing from Canada to the
Appalachia's. It's one of the first of greens to show up through out our
woodland landscape with its timely presence reassuring us spring is here.
Snow or no snow, Ramps will grow. Of course not everyone is aware of this
simple little green plant. Unless you're a wild foods forager or one who
looks for a nice hot bowl of fresh Potato Leek Soup at one of our local
eateries.
