As spring slowly changes to summer, so does the menu at Cafe Flora! Last week I brought in some freshly picked ramps and sea beans from Foraged and Found to add to our new "Pickle Jar" that we will be offering on our menu in a few weeks. If you are unfamiliar with these foraged items, here's a little summary:
 |
| Ramps: aka "wild leeks" are a wild onion found in the forest. They have a very strong onion flavor, and while they come with a large green leaf top, I trim that off when I pickle them and just use the bottom white root. |
 |
| Sea beans: Found in coastal tidelands, they almost look like miniature asparagus. They grow in large beds and are harvested at the beginning of their growth before they flower and become too tough to eat. |
