Leeks, Bunch

Leeks are a classic autumn and winter vegetable. Part of the onion family, they are sweeter and milder in taste than an onion and a great way to add base flavour to any dish. They are prized for their long stems, but the leaves can also make a great stock! Simply swap out your onions when cooking with the sliced stem (or use both onion and leek) to add a fantastic, sweet onion flavour to your cooking. They are also fantastic on soups, risottos, or brazed on the oven and eaten as a side. We start selling our leeks in August with our first early variety and continue into winter with our hardier varieties. We try to sell ours as small-medium sized, as they are noticeably sweeter and more tender. You will get 2-4 leeks in a bunch depending on size. And we keep most of the leaves on for as long as possible. They will always yellow a bit as winter progresses.
