Ramps are similar-looking to a green onion, only the leaves are more broad, they are shorter, and often have some purple coloring on the stem. Often found in April, May, and June, they are more potent in flavor than leeks or scallions, and have a definite garlic flavor. Used in salads, pesto, rice, pasta, and potato dishes.
