This wild onion grows from the Carolinas to Canada and resembles a SCALLION with broad leaves. Also known as wild leek, ramp has an assertive, garlicky-onion flavor. It can be found usually only in specialty produce markets from March to June. Choose those that are firm with bright-colored greenery. |
| Wrap tightly in a plastic bag and refrigerate for up to a week. Trim the root ends just before using. Though the flavor of a ramp is slightly stronger than the LEEK, SCALLION or ONION, it can be used raw or cooked in many dishes as a substitute for any of those three. |
