Cosby Tennessee Ramp Page
Description edit
In West Virginia, "spring is in the air" means more than longer days and occasional warm breezes; it means ramps! Even before the trees' buds break open, the hardy head for the woods in search of this reeking wild green.
The ramp (Allium tricoccum), or wild leek, belongs to the same pungent genus as onions (A.cepa), chives (A. schoenoprasum), and garlic (A. sativum), not to mention the showy ornamentals such as A. giganteum, with its massive purple pompon head. The ramp's odor is something akin to that of garlic and onion, but distinquishes itself by its persistence and its occasionally musty flavor.
Ramps are native to eastern North America, ranging from the rich, moist woodlands of Nova Scotia and southern Quebec, south through New England and the central Appalachian states, down into the cool upland portions of Georgia, and as far west as Iowa and Minnesota.
