Fresh Leeks 11 lb.

Details

Add fresh flavor to your menu with these fresh leeks! Leeks are a member of the allium family, meaning they're related to onions, garlic, chives, and shallots. They have a milder taste than many of their relatives, featuring a sweet, oniony flavor with depth and complexity. These leeks' leaves are dark green at the ends and fade down into light green and white nearer to the base. Plus, these leeks don't just taste and look great - they're great for you, too! Leeks are loaded with vitamin C, provitamin A carotenoids, vitamin K1, and dietary fiber to support healthy digestion; they also contain other essential nutrients like copper, B vitamins, iron, and folate! These tasty and wholesome leeks will be a versatile addition to your menu. This bulk 11 lb. supply will keep your establishment well stocked with this important ingredient!

With a wide variety of preparation options, these leeks will be a mainstay on your ever-changing menu. Be sure to wash the leeks thoroughly before use, as they're prone to getting sandy soil trapped between their many layers of leaves. Use these leeks to prepare simple yet delicious side dishes by slicing them into rounds and sauteing them in butter, or halving them, roasting until just caramelized, and serving with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar! Leeks are a popular addition to savory pies and tarts. Satisfy gourmet palates by making your own version of the French leek tart known as flamiche aux poireaux, or create a savory, hearty chicken and leek pie that's a perfect way to warm up on cold evenings! Use these leeks to create soups like creamy leek and potato soup or savory leek soup with bacon and barley to serve as delicious appetizers. Toss leeks into creamy pasta dishes, give them a quick sear in stir frys, or halve and grill them for a delicious summer treat! No matter how you choose to serve them, these leeks will be a popular addition to your menu.
