About Leeks, (bulb and lower leaf-portion), cooked, boiled, drained, with salt

Wild leek, better known in North America as ramps, is a wild spring onion foraged from the woodlands of the Appalachian region and beyond. Prized for a bold flavor that lands somewhere between garlic and sweet onion, ramps have broad, smooth green leaves and slender white bulbs, and both parts are edible. Their brief early-spring season has turned them into a coveted seasonal delicacy sought after by chefs and home cooks.

Nutritionally they offer vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and antioxidants for very few calories. Ramps are wonderful sauteed in butter, grilled, blended into a vivid pesto, scrambled with eggs, or pickled to enjoy long after the season ends. A word of caution: ramps are slow-growing and have been overharvested in many areas, so gather them responsibly, taking only leaves or a small share of any patch.

Use them soon after picking, since their fragrance fades fast, and wrap them in a damp towel in the refrigerator to hold them a few days.
