These are freshly-harvested leeks with a sweet aroma and mild onion-like flavor. The edible portions of the leek are the white base and light green stalk, but the darker green tops tend to be a bit tough. Leeks are very tolerant of the cold and therefore grow well in our New England climate.
Store in the refrigerator.
As part of the cultivation process, soil is often hilled up around the stalk to keep the base out of the sun and nurture a more tender leek. This process can push soil down into the leaves, so the easiest way to prepare is to slice first, then rinse thoroughly in a colander.
