Leek (each)
Mild, savoury and naturally sweet when cooked, our organic leeks bring a delicate onion-like flavour to comforting home-cooked meals. Their tender white and light green sections soften beautifully when sautéed, roasted or slowly cooked.
Use fresh organic leeks in soups, stocks, pies, risottos, pasta dishes and casseroles, or simply sauté them with butter or olive oil as a delicious vegetable side. They pair especially well with potatoes, garlic, herbs and other seasonal vegetables.
Order organic leeks online in NZ from Eden’s Box and have fresh organic vegetables delivered straight to your door.
Store your organic leeks unwashed in the refrigerator crisper drawer, ideally loosely wrapped or inside a reusable or perforated produce bag. Keeping the leeks cold and maintaining some humidity helps prevent your fresh organic leeks from drying out.
When stored properly, fresh leeks can keep for around 2–4 weeks, and exceptionally fresh leeks may last longer under ideal refrigerated conditions. Avoid trimming or washing them until you're ready to cook, as keeping the leek intact helps maximise its storage life.
For longer-term storage, organic leeks can be sliced, blanched and frozen for 8–12 months. Frozen leeks are excellent for soups, stocks, stews, pies, risotto and other cooked dishes.
