The spring season brings warm weather, flowers and other changes for people to enjoy. For some restaurant cooks, the most exciting spring arrival is ramps.
Ramps are a wild plant in the eastern mountains of North America. They are one of the first plants that grow in spring, usually between April and May. They can be easily found through their long red stem(茎), and two long and wide green leaves. They are also famous for their strong taste, similar to onions.
Ramps are not as well-known as other vegetables, but they have a long history in the United States. In the Appalachian Mountains, ramps have been an important food for a long time. During spring, it is common for small towns in the Appalachian area to hold large ramp dinners for the local people.
However, over the last 30 years, the popularity of ramps has grown quickly. Many nice restaurants in cities like New York and Washington D.C. want them very much.
One reason for their popularity is that they grow in the wild. It is difficult to grow them on farms. Most restaurants get them from people who collect ramps by searching forests for some small pieces of land where they grow. Ramps have a short season. Within a few weeks of full growth, the plant is done for the year. This short life is some reason for their popularity.
And their popularity could lead to their disappearance from the earth. In 1995, the local Government in Quebec, Canada, stopped people selling the plant to businesses in order to protect the plant against being over- dug.
