What is Wild Garlic?… Wild Garlic is a bulbous, perennial plant. It is a relative of chives and grows wild in damp woodlands, along hedgerows and river banks.
All parts of wild garlic are edible. The fresh leaves are full of flavour and can be eaten raw in salads, you can also steam or boil them. The stems are sweet and the flowers look lovely scattered over your salad.
… and before you ask, yes you can freeze wild garlic.
Here is one of my recipes … hope you enjoy!
