Wild garlic (Allium ursinum), also known as ramsons or bear's garlic, is a bulbous perennial that grows wild in shady woodland. Its broad, deep green leaves have a strong garlic aroma and are harvested in spring, before flowering. They are eaten fresh in salads, sauces, pesto or soups, and are highly prized as a spring green. The white, star-shaped flowers are also edible and decorative. Wild garlic has recognised health-supporting properties and is a sought-after seasonal delicacy.
