Sweet, Peppery
Light Sweetness and a delicate pepper flavor, the Yellowfoot is a great alternative to the more expensive Golden Chanterelle. The Yellowfoot is probably best Sauted, but can be used in any other mushroom application. Great flavor for Seafood, Sauces, Cheese dishes, and especially Eggs. Saute, Roast, Stew, Puree.
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...
Mild, Crunchy, Creamy
This is a very versatile and unique produce. Bring exotic flare to any Salad, Stir Fry, Curry, "Ratatouille", "Ragout", or Medley. The Hearts of Palm are very rich in Iron and Calcium with a mild flavor that can easily be overpowered by strong onion and garlic. It never hurts to be adventurous on a new vegetable option.
