Our Wild Ramps were hand-picked in a sugar maple forest in the Adirondacks, dried at low temperatures and ground into savory flakes. Ramps are a beloved spring crop in the Northeastern United States, but with a very short harvest season and limited shelf-life, they were impossible to get in the rest of the country — until now! These dried ramp leaves are great as a garnish or an aromatic, with a famously savory, earthy allium flavor.
Ramps are a wild onion that sprout in deciduous forests in early spring, when temperatures are still low but there's abundant sunlight. They can take up to 7 years to reach maturity, and the same ramp stalks re-grow new leaves year after year (so the leaves can be harvested without hurting the plant itself).
