Wild Ramp Dust

Wild Leek & Herb Dust

Ramps, wild leeks, are the first green thing out of the Appalachian forest floor each spring, and in the mountain South they are cause for celebration: ramp festivals, ramp suppers, whole communities turning out for the first harvest. The Cherokee, and the Appalachian families who learned from them, have gathered ramps for generations. This blend leads with ramp's pungent, garlic-onion heat and builds a mountain seasoning around it. Use it on eggs, potatoes, trout, mushrooms, and anything that wants a wild spring note.

Best for: eggs, potatoes, beans, trout, popcorn

A little goes a long way, start with a pinch.
