How to Pick

When selecting leeks, look for ones that are firm and straight, with dark green leaves and white bulbs. Avoid any that are wilted or have soft spots. The size of the leek will depend on your recipe and personal preference, but smaller ones are generally more tender. 

Also, consider the aroma - a fresh leek should have a mild, onion-like smell. If you're planning to use them right away, choose leeks with a bit of heft to them. If you want to store them for longer, opt for smaller, more delicate leeks.

How to Store

Leeks should be stored in the refrigerator in a plastic bag to retain their freshness. Trim the green tops and store them separately in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. It is important to keep the leeks dry and away from moisture to prevent them from spoiling. Avoid storing them near fruits such as apples and pears, as these can cause the leeks to ripen and spoil faster. Proper storage will help to maintain the quality and flavor of the leeks for a longer period of time.

Where it’s Sourced

Our Leeks are carefully grown in the rich, fertile soils of Tasmania, where the cool climate and clean air contribute to their exceptional flavor and quality. 

We also source some of our Leeks from Victoria, where the fertile farmlands provide the perfect growing conditions for this versatile vegetable.
