Product Information
The American Flag Leek is a sweet member of the onion family.
This leek variety has large, white stems that often measure 8"-10" long and 2" across. The leek stems are tender and have excellent flavor, making them ideal for fresh consumption or cooked in soups! Yum!
To use leeks, cut off their roots (the very tip of their white stems) and then dice, slice and/or mash them in any way you'd like. Leeks are cold tolerant.

Suggestions
Leeks need a long growing season to reach full size. A leek can be left in the ground until a hard freeze or pulled when mature and stored in a cool area.
