About our Wild Garlic

Wild garlic, is a fragrant, leafy green that thrives in shady woodlands across the UK. With its distinctive garlicky aroma and fresh, vibrant flavour, it’s a seasonal favourite in spring, typically foraged from March to June. Unlike traditional garlic bulbs, wild garlic is prized for its tender leaves, which can be eaten raw or cooked.

Cooking Tips

Pesto Perfection: Blend wild garlic leaves with olive oil, nuts, Parmesan, and a squeeze of lemon for a punchy, homemade pesto.
Soups & Sauces: Finely chop and stir into soups, risottos, or creamy sauces at the end of cooking to retain its delicate flavour.
Simple Sauté: Lightly fry in butter for a quick and delicious side dish, much like spinach.

A Bit of History

Wild garlic has been used in Britain for centuries, both as a culinary ingredient and for its medicinal properties. In folklore, it was believed to ward off evil spirits, while herbalists valued it for its antibacterial benefits. Today, it remains a sought-after foraged delicacy, bringing a taste of the wild to kitchens across the country.
