A bunch of wild garlic weighs between 50 and 100 grams. If you are preparing wild garlic butter, see the quantities in our basic recipe as a guide.

The Wild garlic season only lasts from March to May. As soon as the plant flowers, the aroma shifts from the wild garlic leaves into the flowers. It is all the more pleasing that we can preserve wild garlic in the form of wild garlic butter and wild garlic pesto.
