Health Benefits
Rich in fiber, organic leek supports healthy digestion and gut bacteria. It contains high levels of vitamin K, which promotes bone health, and vitamin C, which strengthens the immune system. Leeks are also a great source of folate, essential for cell function and energy production. Their natural antioxidants, including kaempferol, help combat inflammation and protect against oxidative stress. Adding leeks to your diet can contribute to heart health and overall well-being.
Why Choose ACO-Certified Organic Leek?
Choosing Australian-grown organic leek supports local farmers who use sustainable practices that protect soil health and biodiversity. Organic farming avoids synthetic chemicals, ensuring a fresher, more nutrient-rich vegetable. With their superior taste and purity, organic leeks are an excellent choice for healthy, environmentally conscious eating.
How to Store Leek
To keep fresh, store it in the refrigerator, unwashed, in a perforated bag or wrapped in a damp paper towel. If you need to store cut leeks, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to a few days. For longer storage, blanch and freeze sliced leeks for future use. Proper storage helps maintain their crisp texture and nutritional value.
Enjoy the subtle sweetness and versatility of organic leek in a wide range of dishes, from creamy soups to savoury pies.
