Description

Organic Leek
Organic Leek seeds, botanical name Allium porrum, are the medium-flavored onion alternative in the liliaceae family. The intense spring onion flavor and aroma of this family make leeks, Chinese leeks, and onions highly sought after and valued worldwide.
Leek shoots and microgreens are very delicate and sensitive, so we recommend storing it in a sheltered environment with regulated and even airflow.
Once harvested, the pungent yet delicate flavor of leek will give your dishes a unique and unrepeatable flavor.
