It’s Spring which means one thing here in Chicago (besides the fact that the harsh “Chiberian” winter is behind us) Ramps are here! Sustainably foraging, preserving and cooking with ramps are all things that we’ll cover in this year’s Ramp adventure installment. Big thanks to Michael for showing us all a side of the forest that I didn’t know existed! Go check him out on Instagram. Forage on! 🤘🏻 Adam

Such a cool video! I’ve never seen a ramp flower for all the ramps I’ve eaten in my life lol. Good to spread the word on how to sustainably harvest em, so often people dig up an entire patch 😖 We always go for a ramp hunt in the spring. So far this week I’ve made ramen with ramp greens (fried the whites with gyoza), a shrimp scampi using the whites in place of garlic and fresh greens tossed in. Favorite was a Chinese velveted beef and ramp green salad with a little fried rice (because I failed at toasting it lol). Love those lil fuckers.

Hey guys. There's a mistake in the video that I want to address - during the pickle part of the video the Soy pickles and Classic pickle ingredients are flip flopped. It won't effect the recipe, but the visuals during the pouring sequence is incorrect! Just a heads up.

Yes, interested in foraging videos. Especially in Virginia. Plus your cooking expertise with the finds!

Since you live in the Midwest, maybe you can do some mushroom and wild berry foraging as well. I'm from the UP and ate my body weight in wild blueberries as a child.

I just had my first pickled ramp at Miskatonic Brewpub in Naperville. Which is why I am checking out this video. Amazing appetizer served w whipped ricotta, pesto and crustini. I'm interested in trying out your recipe. Are ramps sold in stores?

I kind of want to try this in Chicago but I'm pretty sure there will be Cicadas everywhere right now lol

Cut the root off and a little of the bulb. Replant and it will regrow. No waste.

make a vid about turning the leaves into butter and soy-pickling, never heard of that but that sounds phenomenal.

Garlic chives are a great alternative....... I see both as well as a lot of purple dead nettle..... raspberries.... wild garlic...... all kinds of stuff.... I know some bee keepers north of Chicago. Keep in mind it is kind of illegal to harvest stuff.....also really really clean that shit......😊

Found some today and my first time actually bringing some home but didn't end up using them, the flavor wasn't good to me and they smell like crusty underwear. Is it an acquired taste?

@Mel_sunflower Жыл бұрын

Is it legal to forage in our forest preserves,(Illinois)?

@cyberpunkspike 3 ай бұрын

Yes, it's called poaching. That's when you take something from public or private land without permission. ... now if it's only for personal use, like a handful of leaves just for you, you're not selling them? It's likely fine, just cut one leaf off each ramp, leave the rest of plant in ground. They take 7 - 10 years to grow from seed. What you're not told is that ramps stink, and you will reek for DAYS. Imagine garlic breath, but worse, it comes from every pore. ... and it stays for half a week. I won't eat ramps.
