They’re cropping up everywhere, and no, I’m not talking about the mushrooms on my lawn. I keep seeing them on menus in chichi restaurants, in recipe guides for gardeners who want to think outside the box, and on foodie sites.

I’m talking about ramps, which look like they’re trying to edge out kale for “trendiest vegetable” status. Unlike kale, ramps have a much shorter growing season, but they’re packed with flavor and they can be used in all kinds of things.
