Hunting for Wild Garlic

[@bzzgrizz6188]

Hey man, I've been picking this for years. Just wanted to let you know the leaves are delicious. They are almost better than the garlic itself. They are tender and sweet. You can also freeze the bulbs. You end up with twice as much goodness eating the leaves. Please try it everyone!

[@frenchriversprings]

I made a Vegan purée soup with lots of leaves. Was delicious!!!

[@crazyguyonearth]

I totally agree! I just used the leaves in an omelette and it tasted amazing!

[@NicolePhim-CookingandTravel]

I love wild garlic, nice to watch all the wild garlic here. Great video.😍😍

[@davidmay3504]

Why don't you cultivate a few more spots of it? Take a few plants from your big area and transplant them to another location where it's likely to grow and then leave it for several years to take hold.

[@miti314]

No more wild so !

[@marcobagut]

You can eat the leaves without having to pull them out. There are many recipees.

[@nikkiradcliffe4902]

Why dig it up, just eat the leaves, unopened flower heads and the seed pods (like capers). Keep digging and there won’t be any more

[@shaboingboing799]

Who cares

[@kimberlyduncan1053]

We call them Ramps. We cut the roots off & put them back in the spot where we picked them. Love the leaves sauteed. Pickling them.... Now I'm hungry!

[@jamestboehm6450]

Ramps are amazing plants to find, a gift from God. Great taste and amazingly good for you.

[@alixhice]

I am SO jealous. I just got home to the US from a European Cruise where I had the most amazing Wild Garlic Soup in Linz, Austria. I mean, seriously addictive. Now I want wild garlic so I can try and reinvent the soup. I would kill for some wild garlic. Guess I’ll have to grow my own. Unless..... you’d like to send me some???? 😆

3:00 starts the video.

[@pappapinskie5883]

I despise commercial foragers. Great video! I love ramps

[@thelastwarrior2992]

Hello. I grew up in southwestern Pa, I returned back to my hometown here in Pennsylvania after I left the Air Force. We call them ramps here. Dice the bulbs, stalks, and the leaves finely. Dice, or finely slice some red potatoes. Place the potatoes in a skillet with some butter and the diced ramps. Season with a little Lawreys Season Salt. Fry the potatoes until golden brown and the ramps have slightly wilted. Absolutely awesome for breakfast as a side to your omelet and sausage. Ramps are delicious !!

[@jal1400]

Here in Minnesota we call it wild onion. It's part of the Ramp family. Here, it typically comes up in the early spring and is easy to spot as it is the greatest thing growing, and grows in low areas. The bulbs get larger the longer it grows before they set seed. I have had success with transplanting to new areas.

[@anvilsbane]

Yeah. Was gonna say we call those ramps. SE Ohio.

[@jeffgegos7333]

Ramps are the same as the wild onion there showing wild onions in Europe are a different species called ransoms and Siberian onion look similar. But there is a lot of diffent onion,leek, garlic or allium in general so it’s hard to grow. If you live in North America and your wild onion are flat then you have ramps in Europe you have damsons but some other onions might look similar to usually other wild onions and garlic look like tiny chives or leeks which also they might be.

[@NicolettaIvetadeVries]

You also can dry the leaves , than grind it finely like flour and mix it with salt. So you have a very delicious wild-garlic salt ( We in Germany call it Bärlauch , it will be translated bear-leek ) You also can cultify this plant in your own garden and you will see it will multiply its own very fast !

[@mrnorton999]

in Wales the forests here are full of it, literally every patch of forest floor has wild garlic

[@Jimmytwogunz]

Hi, im from south wales... could you please tell me what woodlands have it please :D Thanks!

[@mrnorton999]

Dim Probs :) i'll see how i get on with what i have.. Thanks for the reply

[@crazyguyonearth]

Thank you for the video. It brings back memories during my time in England where we foraged wild garlic near Devon in the southwest of England. I made baked potato quiche with the wild garlic and also egg omelette. The taste was wonderful! Nature has so much to offer. I would love to go back and make more food with wild garlic. Cheers once again!

[@Sleipnirseight]

That tomato sandwich looks great! I bet you could slice the ramps real thin, lengthwise and lay them on the sandwich, OR you should mince/puree them to mix into the mayo. Oh gosh, I'm hungry cause I keep thinking up ways to cook/serve these puppies haha

[@semperfidelis2970]

Toasted tomato sandwiches with that garlic....... how dare you eat that and not invite me? I am a sucker for toasted tomato sandwiches with garlic...... I'm so jealous now. And you're using rye bread and pickles??????? I am dying. .. you've probably got one of my favorite comfort foods there. Hope you used sweet butter and salt and pepper. I enjoy your presentation.

[@miti314]

In my country, we used only leaves ! It's delicious in soup or to replace basil in pesto. Greeting from France 🙋‍♂️🇫🇷

[@aatala5359]

We have wild garlic and wild onions growing in our yard! Texas is packed with them

[@hector193944]

Very well done Gilbert! Well explained! Proud of you!

[@frenchriversprings]

Thanks dad!

[@pickinduck]

Those are ramps a wild onion kind of like a small leak. Here where I reside we have more wild garlic than wild onions.

[@jjmunna]

In Ireland it's every where

[@everyonesalama4447]

Same on the isle of man

[@christinaaa_xo]

Hope to find some ramps this year! They have been hard to come by the last several years here due to people picking all of it.

[@celiahuling8024]

Like your work

[@wildernesshobo1785]

Those are ramps, aka rampsons also called wild leeks. Wild garlic is a different thing, in the same family. Definitely a choice wild edible tho!

[@eCitizen1]

It took a little effort to find "Sylviane FarmerChick" you mentioned. I was looking for CVN, Sevien, Seavein, haha you accent. Finally, I just searched for "Noelville Ontario Dairy" and found her.

[@dracokaiser]

If you have a backyard, grow them underneath trees, and in a bamboo garden! They make excellent ground covers

[@jiayouchinese]

I mostly just cut off the leaves and leave the bulb, but sometimes I take a few bulbs and plant them elsewhere.

[@steammachine3061]

You dont need to keep wild garlic a secret in the UK. It grows in such an abundance that a small woodland can contain more than could feed a small army several times over. It is technically illegal to uproot any wild plant though. But people often use their own judgement and discression when it comes to the easier to ignore laws. Leaves are very good though and can be easily harvested

[@blackboxartistry]

Wondering if you can replant then?

[@gillesdion3339]

Yes I like your video it's very true if you over pick them that you lose every good of nature once you find a spot keep it for you only

[@Khelleyne]

"Nowhere to be found in Quebec." I've been living all my life in Quebec and I've never missed a single year without getting some wild garlic for my personnal use. People only have to be careful and to leave a good portion of every patch they find, exactly like you are telling your viewers in this video. Selling it commercially and getting caught afterward doesn't really make this very profitable in the end.

[@charronfamilyconnect]

Thanks for the video! Do leeks typically grow near certain tree species and topography? I like how you believe in conservation so you have many leeks for the future! Thanks!

[@76irodriguez]

Does wild garlic produce seeds viable for planting?

[@GinaRJumper]

My husband is Cherokee from NC , we call them ramps.

[@purpleman173]

Ramsons Garlic aka wild garlic I learned it is the proper word for ramps. I'm from WV that is what I was taught to say. I always wondered why I wouldn't get search results from AskJeeves back in the day 😉

[@Jane-ms9ky]

It looks so painful when you dig them out... ... why can’t you just pick the leaves as normal people do?

[@HuckThis1971]

Foraging wild garlic in québec is illegal now. I found a patch 8 x 12 feet. I am in Ontario so all is good.

[@opuschannel37]

Oh! I never thought that the grass in our backyard is wild garlic, Thanks! Now i know.

[@adeledepratto9672]

How long will wild garlic keep In a ziplock?

[@elisabettaepiney9896]

😳😳😳😳😳😳 you don’t use the leaves ? We pick the leaves in Europe and let the bulb to continue producing. Makes wonderful pesto

[@shuhuazhang3523]

This wild Garlic is super good for health.

[@kjameshiachawang7898]

That's cool, seem like I saw at my home town this plan can I see the picture clearly can you please share me a picture.

[@jimf1964]

You can just take some leaves, or flowers if you get them in time. Don't always have to pull the whole plant. That way you don't kill the plant

[@robind.phillips2129]

How long does it keep? can you re plant the garlic in your yard? Are the leaves edible?

[@aatala5359]

I’m not sure how long they keep but yes you can replant them and the leaves are, indeed edible!

[@donnafrank9240]

I love wild garlic the dear in my area eats the tops off em

Eh! French river,at 8:31.it have a plant with 3 leaf and a flower (red,violet) i would like to know what it is and is it always neer of garlic? thanks

Can't wild garlic plant in the garden?

I’m from south Atlanta GA (in Fayetteville and Peachtree City) Do you think I can fine in here? Thank you.

[@anthony342]

grows well in lime stone areas

[@wchayes8646]

Bro , those are Ramps. They are a leek. And you shouldn't dig it in that small of a patch. You can remove one leaf from the plant. That's not wild garlic. It's better. Lol.. Stay safe and harvest lightly.

[@katehenning9116]

its everywhere in my back garden (aka a huge woodland)

Wow Gilbert.....that tomato sandwich with the wild garlic looked real good....your father is proud of his son going out and respecting mother nature and how she takes care of us if you take care and not take more than you need...she`lll provide for another day...I must go out at my camp ......I think I seen those leaves ....do they grow were you find that purple flower.....is that part of the garlic or something that grows along it.....SALUT

[@frenchriversprings]

Gator's World thanks. That purple flower is not part of the wild garlic and does not necessarily grow with the wild garlic. It's a trillium. Cheers

In Que we called them wild leaks or wild onions. Your club cadet does not have a license plate on it, are you legal to drive on the roads in Ont. I AM NOT BEING A TROLL OR A SAFTY NUT. Just a comment or a good observation . the reason I say this is that I got charged driving a golf cart on a public road.. I enjoy your videos. Sir, do you know any Contois in your area or Prevost's. They are good friends of mine.

[@frenchriversprings]

I called a golf cart store and asked them about driving my cart on the road. They said it's not allowed but in some small town the cops will let it slide. I know one old guy drives a lawn tractor in Noelville all the time and he does not get harassed. Thank you for watching my videos. Yes I do know some Comptois and Prevost's. Cheers

[@steammachine3061]

Plenty of people do lacto ferment them the same way you would cabbage or most other leafy greens. Iv not tried it personally myself. I usually just make a pesto using the leaves and freeze those

[@srcb7305]

It's all over around my house.

[@williambates866]

looks like ramps

[@anastenagmos]

Wild garlic in my garden in UK looks so different!! more like the leaves of a crocus and the actual garlic root is a small white bulb!!

[@steammachine3061]

That sounds like you have tri cornered leek rather than wild garlic. Same family of plant (alium) and just as edible. But tri cornered leek is an invasive plant rather than a native one. It often grows in the same types of location youll find wild garlic as well though. Called tri cornered as the flowering stem has 3 sides to it

[@johannalange802]

I think there are a few different plants called wild garlic. The problem here is he is thinking of garlic bulbs and destroys the plant. Just use the greens and let the bulb inside, it will grow like weeds.

[@steammachine3061]

@@johannalange802 theres another common allium in the uk called crow garlic which the root does resemble a miniature garlic bulb. It's technically against the law to uproot any wild plant within the UK. But im not against it personally as long as common sense prevails. With the standard ramsons for example they literally carpet the woodland floor and could stand up to even heavy seasonal uprooting. Same for tri cornered leek as they are non native invasive and could benefit from being kept at manageable levels. The bulb of those resembles that of a small onion and could probably be pickled in a similar way for long term storage

[@johannalange802]

@@steammachine3061 Same rules here in D. Mostly you'll find huge woodlands carpeted with the leek variety in early spring. First rule is to only forrage and not to harvest. That is part reason why mostly the greens are used. Can't wait :)

[@tetygiouras]

Keep tearing them up like that and they'll be a lot rarer....I sell wild Garlic picked on my property and after two decades of responsible picking I face serious overcrowding and last year started selling plants to anyone wishing to grow their own....please learn how to forage it the right way!!!!
