Add a subtle, sweet onion flavour to your meals with our fresh leek bunch, a popular vegetable in South African kitchens known for its tender white stalks and vibrant green leaves. Leeks are a versatile ingredient that enhances soups, stews, casseroles, and sautés with their delicate aroma and mild taste.

Key Features:

  • Fresh & Firm: Each bunch contains several long, crisp stalks with clean white bases and healthy green tops, carefully harvested for quality and freshness.

  • Mild, Sweet Flavour: Less pungent than onions, leeks offer a gentle, aromatic flavour that complements a wide variety of dishes.

  • Nutrient-Rich: Packed with vitamins A, C, K, and folate, as well as dietary fibre and antioxidants that support digestion, immune health, and overall wellness.

  • Versatile Culinary Use: Ideal for soups, stocks, quiches, stir-fries, and roasted vegetable medleys. The white and light green parts are most commonly used, while the dark green leaves can flavour broths.

  • Locally Grown: Sourced from trusted South African farmers, ensuring freshness and sustainable practices.

Usage Suggestions:

  • Slice and sauté with butter or olive oil as a base for soups and stews.

  • Add to casseroles and gratins for a subtle onion flavour.

  • Use the green tops to flavour stocks and broths, then discard.

  • Roast or grill alongside other vegetables for a tasty side dish.

Storage Tips:

Store leeks unwashed in a perforated plastic bag in the fridge. Use within 5–7 days for best flavour and texture. Trim roots and tough green leaves before cooking.
