PLEASE USE DROP DOWN BOX TO ORDER Ramp,Wild Leek Seeds (Allium tricoccum) Perennial,Considered by many to be the best tasting member of the onion familyCharacteristics: medicinal plant/beneficial plant/culinary herbThe whole plant is edible. Until a few years ago you would never have seen it on a menu, but these days is definitely a chefs' favourite. The flavour is softer, more pleasant than cloves from garlic bulbs, the smell less assertive. Leaves, when blanched and blended to a purée, have a vibrant colour that brings food, especially white fish, to life.The glossy green leaves are delicious in sandwiches, used sparingly in salads, or added to sauces and dressings. It also makes splendid pesto. The bulb can also be eaten raw or cooked, and can be harvested all year round, though is best used when the plant is dormant from July to December or January. The flowers, raw or cooked are somewhat stronger than the leaves; in small quantities they make a decorative and very tasty addition
