Wild garlic, or Allium ursinum, is a perennial plant that thrives in damp, shady areas, producing fleshy leaves and edible white flowers every spring. This wild variety, closely related to our traditional garlic, offers a unique, subtle, and fleeting aromatic taste on the palate. Every part of wild garlic is a culinary gem: its leaves and bulbs can be enjoyed raw or cooked, adding versatility to every dish.
Hand-harvested in pristine forests, wild garlic offers numerous health benefits; it's known for its purifying, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties.
Traditionally, it's believed that bears would feast on wild garlic after hibernation to purify and replenish their energy levels.
