Pick of the Week - Leeks

3 whole leeks on a brown cloth on a white bench.

"My pick this week are leeks.

Leeks are part of the onion and garlic family.  They are grown in Victoria, and to a lesser extent the Sydney basin.  High in vitamin C and fibre, they are a really healthy veg and are at their best now.  Great in casseroles and soups, or as a standalone veg - I love them in white sauce!

By September, they start to go to seed, so enjoy them now; they are well priced and at their absolute best!" - David Harris

How to pick

Choose leeks with dark green leaves on top and a bright white bulb and base.

How to store

Trim the tops and store in a sealed plastic bag in the drawer of your refrigerator for up to one week.
