    You need to leave the root in the ground so that the plant can come back the following year. It can take up to ten years for a ramp to seed. If you tear them out they won’t come back. You can stick your finger down the bulb and find where the bulb and roots meet and use a small pocket knife to cut the root off and leave in the ground. When I first started foraging for them I had no idea about this. Just a heads up! Love your page keep it up brother 👌🏼

      @@ScienceBreather I would think so too. Get the bulk of the dirt off in a sink or big bowl of water & then quickly run under free-flowing water to get off whatever remains. Sort of like taking a bath & then showering off the yuck.

    O.A., another fun, interesting, and learning video! They grow all around us, but we really never knew much about them. My husband and I were entirely focused on the ramp foraging, cleaning, preparation and uses! We appreciate the time and effort you spent doing this for your viewers. We thank you so much!

    Ramps makes me think of spring. absolutely love them. I remember having to clean 20lbs at a time as an apprentice.... I didn't love them so much back then lol. Ramp pesto is great and I love them for that application. I also love using them for making Kim-Chi and sauerkraut

    Digging and cleaning ramps is a lot of work, but it's well worth it. I typically eat ramps in a omelette, fried potatoes along with bacon, or brown beans and ramps. The pesto looked amazing, I'd like to try that.

    This was very interesting. I had never heard of ramps before. Can they be used in combination with other 'root' vegetables or is their flavor too overpowering to do so? I would enjoy more videos like this. Thanks, Adam.

    • @AdamWitt
      @AdamWitt  3 года назад +1

      No no, you can totally bake them with other root veg. The ramps will just lend their flavor to the combo. Get creative - think of them as onions/scallions.

    Ramps take years to grow, so I ask you to consider sustainably harvesting only the leaves. The bulbs are delicious, but if you pull the whole bulb, they will not grow back.

    • @christinewaite8568
      @christinewaite8568 Год назад

      Well, How about when you find a patch just don't pull them all out because they'll multiply, right? And I do agree but at the same time surely you can enjoy some of it! :))
