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.
@@AdamWitt my ramp eating experience started at campsites, deep in the Wv. mountains. Freshly dug and cleaned and cooked next to a campfire. Some of the locals saying that, they're not allowed to cook them in their house.
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.
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! :))
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.
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.

So annoying
awesome miniseries. more more more! and my fav way to eat ramps are all 3 (but mostly just when they’re grilled bc they’re amazing)
Kinda stresses me out the water running for ages
Put on some headphones and get in that flow state! That's what I do with long prep tasks.
@@AdamWitt I think they meant that you let the water run the whole time. Seems like it could be done in a filled up sink, no?

Heck yeah! Happy to hear it. Thank you and thanks to both ya'll for watching.

Yeeeees. Ramp kimchi is the truth! Yeah, I can only imagine. That's a lot of prep.
Great information thank you!
got you m8
Amazing miniseries! Would be fun to see more of this harvest and cook type of vids :)
Thanks Eilert! I'd love to do more stuff like this, but tbh I'm no expert forager. I'd love to learn more about wild edibles in my area tho.
I would love to see more content of you going and foraging more foods 😄 I love your videos!!
Maybe when it gets warmer!
Spotted some ramps on my walk this morning and had to come back to this video! Thanks for sharing, I’m excited to try them. :)
Wow, I did not expect the leaves to be edible. Crazy.
This mini series was dope! Definitely down to see more foraging and cooking
Thanks man. These were a lot of fun to make.

That sounds fire. Definitely give the pesto a go next Spring. Super easy and mega tasty.

It's not just springtime for (you know who) and Germany*, it's time for RAMPS!!! Cool vid. *The Producers
throw the gooey root waste back in teh forest! They will ggrow.
It's look really good.
thanks!
great suggestions and tips.
Thanks man!
Definitely wanna see more!!!
Ask and you shall receive.
Gotta go find some ramps!
More ramp receipes,please
Why did you pull roots out? If you didn’t do that it would be happy to give you more next year.
Great video. How long does the ramp leaf pesto keep?
i like to slice them and smash them up in a mortar with some thai peppers. taste best with steak or bbq
Now I know what to do with the leaves
You can plant the roots!
This is gonna be your year man, these videos are fire 🔥

@@AdamWitt Cool, Thanks, Adam.
@@dee_dee_place Np
"looks like i chose the smothered on something door" lol
Looks great- my neighbor just dropped some off
Replant it the roots to grow more next year
My daughter loves them raw
you could plant the roots and grow your own ramps
There we go! Excellent idea !!
Ramp City
yeeee boi
Richwood wv is the real ramp city...ramp capital of the world.
great video, but too much water wasted
Running water.. while not using it.. JS 🤔
Surely by "in the trash" you mean in the compost?
Exactly... :/
@@AdamWitt Great video by the way!
@@ScienceBreather Thanks dude.
