Leek Leaves, Organic, 0.2 kg pack

You can use leeks in tarts, soups, pasta, and pizza. Leeks pair well with cheese, poultry, grilled and smoked whitefish, apples, fennel, garlic, mustard, cooked eggs, tomatoes, and vinaigrettes.

Store uncut and unwashed leeks in the fridge to keep them fresh the longest. If you're going to use your leeks within a couple of days, leaving them at room temperature is okay. Consider wrapping them in plastic or using a plastic bag if other foods absorb their smell.
