ramp ramp n.

ramp³ (rămp) also ramps (rămps)
n.
A plant (Allium tricoccum) related to onions and leeks, having edible underground stems and found in the eastern United States.

[Variant of rams, from Middle English ramse, from Old English hramsa.]

This wild onion grows from Canada to the Carolinas and resembles a scallion with broad leaves. Also known as wild leek, ramp has an assertive, garlicky-onion flavor. It can be found-usually only in specialty produce markets-from March to June. Choose those that are firm with bright-colored greenery. Wrap tightly in a plastic bag and refrigerate for up to a week. Trim the root ends just before using. Though the flavor of a ramp is slightly stronger than the leek, scallion or onion, it can be used-raw or cooked-in many dishes as a substitute for any of those three.
