How to Pick

Look for leeks that are firm and straight, with dark green leaves and white bulbs. Avoid any that are wilted or have yellowing leaves. 

The bulbs should be uniform in size and free from any blemishes. For the best flavor, choose leeks that are on the smaller side, as they tend to be more tender. Additionally, consider the freshness of the leeks by checking for any signs of wilting or discoloration.

How to Store

Leeks should be stored in the refrigerator, preferably in the crisper drawer. Make sure to remove any rubber bands and wrap them in a damp paper towel before placing them in a plastic bag. This will help to maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out. 

Leeks can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Do not wash leeks before storing them, as moisture can lead to spoilage. Keep them away from strong-smelling foods, as they can easily absorb odors.

Where it’s Sourced

Our bunched Leeks are grown in the fertile soils of the Adelaide Hills and the rich farmlands of Tasmania, where the cool climate and abundant rainfall create the perfect conditions for these flavorful vegetables to thrive.

For a lighter option, steam and serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of sea salt. These versatile leeks are a must-have in your kitchen for adding depth and richness to your favorite recipes.
