Very Sweet, Light, Green
This is the ONE! If you like garlic, you'll love ramps. You will scowl at the next delivery of cultivated green onions. Let us look at the applications for this beautiful Spring Plant: Raw, Salads, Pickled, Sauteed, Blanched, Stir Fry, Beer Battered, Tempura, Grilled, Roasted, Stewed, Pureed, and anything else that one can imagine. The window is beginning to close already...
Fresh, Complex, Delicate
Short Seasonal delicacy. The Miner's Lettuce was named for the Miners of the California Gold Rush, who ate the plant to prevent scurvy. Miner's Lettuce is a member of the Purslane Family and can be incorporated into fresh salads and wilted into sets. Raw, Wilt, Puree.
Tender, Clean, Green Flavor
This is a great product for allowing bright greens and succulent structure to accent seafood plating. Kahuku has an abundance of salt and should be cooked in plenty of liquid or stem with no salt added. It is a great compliment to lighter flavors and very lightly seasoned proteins. Blanch, Steam, Boil, Poach.
