The ramp wave is a periodic function that increases steadily over time and then resets, forming a sawtooth-like shape. Its Fourier series breaks this sharp, linear pattern into a sum of smooth sine waves with different frequencies and amplitudes. Each sine wave adds more detail to the approximation, starting with the broadest shape and layering in finer ripples. The higher the harmonic, the smaller its contribution, but together they build up the ramp’s slanted form. Even though the ramp has sha

This is my official ramp appreciation post! I love ramps they have a sweet flavor with hints of garlic, onions, and a little bit of spice. You can use every part of the ramps. I paired mine with scallops. I started out by doing a quick pickle with some ramps and fiddlehead ferns. To me fiddleheads don’t have a ton of flavor (but they look cool) so I really wanted to take advantage of the ramp brine and infuse some of that flavor into the fiddleheads. A few of the ramp leaves had started to wilt
