I have, but have never had one or seen one. I have read about them, and know people who have eaten them. I wish we could grow them in Colorado, but I think the soil isn't right and we do not have enough moisture.I never heard of a ramp much less a ramp harvest.
I don't feel so bad now.I never heard of a ramp much less a ramp harvest.
Also known as bear garlic.I don't feel so bad now.
I read the title and all I could think was:
"Why on earth would people be going into national parks and taking out those things that they put in for handicapped people in wheel-chairs?"
Ah - I bet! I've never had any so wouldn't know. I was going on memory which at best with something unknown is sketchy.I'm pretty sure they are in the Alluim family. Much, much stronger than a leek
That is my understanding.Ramps grow around here. They have a festival in the spring. Ramps are tasty and STRONG. Like a super strong onion or garlic. Afterward for a few days your sweat will smell like ramps. Some folks swear by them, Some won't touch them with a 10' pole.
Also known as bear garlic.

There is a high end little grocery store in my area that supposedly sells ramps when they are in season. I have never figured when that is, and only went to the store when yeast was difficult to get last year, my only purchase there. This place sells wine, with a few groceries on the side.Edible forest products are becoming more popular in the culinary world.
