Leeks

Certification: Organically Grown.

Origin: Organica's organic farm in Don Duong, Lam Dong Province, Vietnam.

Benefits: Leeks are low in calories but high in nutrients, particularly magnesium and vitamins A, C, and K. They boast small amounts of fiber, copper, vitamin B6, iron, and folate. Leeks are also rich in antioxidants and sulfur compounds, especially kaempferol and allicin. These are thought to reduce inflammation, cholesterol, blood pressure, the formation of blood clots, and your overall risk of heart disease.

Leeks make a delicious, nutritious, and versatile addition to any diet.

Instructions for use: Can be eaten raw, but you can also poach, fry, roast, braise, boil, or pickle them. They make a great addition to soups, dips, stews, taco fillings, salads, quiches, stir-fries, and potato dishes.

Leeks belong to the same family as onions, shallots, scallions, chives, and garlic. They look like a giant green onion but have a much milder, somewhat sweet flavor and a creamier texture when cooked.

Storage Instructions: Store in crisper drawers of the fridge.

Expiry date: Best to consume within 3 days.
