What does RAMSON mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
A wild garlic with broad leaves and white flowers, native to woodlands of Europe.
Ramson grows in damp, shaded woodland across Europe and is best known by its strong garlic smell, which often reaches a path before the plant itself comes into view. Cooks gather the leaves in spring and use them much as they would garlic or spring onions, either raw in salads or wilted into sauces. The plant's scientific name, Allium ursinum, ties it to the same genus as cultivated garlic and onion.
