  • Complete Guide to Wild Ramps including sustainable harvest & conservation with 5 recipes! In this video I will teach you how to identify & harvest wild ramps with sustainable conservation and 5 recipes from wild ramp soup, wild ramp salt, grilled ramps, wild ramp pesto and wild ramp compound butter. An undisputed delicacy that is only available for a few weeks each year & fine restaurants are happy to charge over $100 for just a small bowl of wild ramp soup!
    Wild ramps, a type of wild onion with a wonderful garlic flavor is one of the first wild plants to appear each spring but they disappear as quickly as they come. Once the leaves come onto trees in the spring wild ramp leaves disappear leaving only a difficult to find tiny flowering/seed head on the older plants to show where they grow. It takes decades for large patches to form so please harvest them responsibly! Transplanting them is fairly simple by carefully digging & cleaning then replanting the bulbs where you wish. Don't expect transplants to turn into a huge patch over night though, I have patches I transplanted 4 years ago that have yet to spread.
    I truly hope you find this wonderful spring delicacy and the recipes I shared might help you along the way. If I did I hope it was enough to earn your subscription because I'm just getting started & there is so much more I want to share about wild edible & medicinal plants!
    Thanks for watching!

    Awesome video and info! But please, someone get this guy a decent cutting board and a proper knife. He’s chopping with a bread knife.

      Haha! Thanks for noticing too. The knife at the very start is a museum replica of a beaver tail knife that would have brought over from England to trade with natives & the next is folder, I made both of them. No idea where I got the long serrated knife but it was handy at the moment. I've used plexiglass for large cutting boards for decades because they won't dull a knife. However you're absolutely right, I do need one of those fancy cutting boards as a prop for videos!

    You can ,can high quality butter i wonder if you could can this to last the winter ? We have ramps in Michigan it says it's illegal to pick . I wonder why it's protected? If I find some on private property I'm gonna try it!

      I freeze ramp butter in smaller plastic containers so it's useable all year long.
      Not familiar with your state laws, can you harvest from private ground?

      I'll expect that to be because so many don't know how to responsibly harvest ramps. It's tragic & avoidable if people just knew how.
