What is the “radish’ looking vegetable in basket next to mushrooms?
Those are ramps (Allium tricoccum), also known as “wild leeks.” They’re a wild-growing member of the allium/onion family with a distinctive garlicky flavor. Explore our website for a detailed description and several recipes.
Hello,
I am wondering which veggy is on the left of wild leeks?
Overall basket looks beautiful 🙂
Greetings from Slovenia
Tine, the green vegetables are edible “fiddleheads” of the Ostrich fern, Matteuccia struthiopteris. The name comes from their resemblance to the scroll at the top of a fiddle/violin. The fiddleheads are snapped off when they are just an inch or two above the ground and still tightly curled. Their flavor is mild and “green,” something like a combination of asparagus and green beans, but uniquely their own. One word of caution: not all ferns are edible (some can cause intense gastric upset) and all wild edible ferns should be cooked before being eaten.
