Ramp story marks rise from stigma to spring delicacy
Ramp culture evolved from stigma as a poor food to sought after spring treat in the 1940s and 1950s with ramp festivals and editor Jim Comstock. By 2010 ramps entered mainstream menus through Whole Foods and VIP chefs, now fetching about 20 dollars per pound in major cities. Foragers advise sustainable harvesting, diagonal cuts, and leaving most bulbs to grow, with storage tips and home cultivation notes.
