The edible leaves of Allium ursinum, with a fresh garlic-like flavour.

About Wild garlic
Wild garlic here means the leaves of the plant commonly called ramsons. The leaves are green and tender, with a fresh, pronounced garlic-like aroma and flavour; they are generally used before flowering for culinary purposes.
The leaves can be chopped into sauces, salads and other dishes, or cooked as a herb or leafy green. They are sold or gathered fresh and may also be preserved, but this entry does not refer to the bulbs or to other plants called wild garlic.
