Leeks Trimmed - (Pre-packed)

Fresh Leeks

Flavour & Texture

Fresh leeks have a mild, sweet onion-like flavour with a soft and delicate texture when cooked. They add a subtle savoury taste to a wide range of dishes.

Appearance

Leeks have long, cylindrical white and light-green stalks with darker green leafy tops. They are made up of tightly layered leaves.

Culinary Uses

Fresh leeks are ideal for:

• Soups, stews and broths

• Sautéing and braising

• Roasting and grilling

• Quiches and casseroles

• Pasta and savoury dishes

• Vegetable side dishes

The white and light-green sections are commonly used in cooking, while the darker green tops can be used to add flavour to stocks and broths.

Vitamins & Minerals

Leeks contain vitamins K, C and A, along with folate, manganese and dietary fibre. They also provide naturally occurring antioxidant compounds.

Storage

Store fresh leeks in the refrigerator in a produce bag or wrapped loosely to help maintain freshness. Clean thoroughly before use, as soil can collect between the layers.
