Baby Leeks are harvested when they are young and slender, about the thickness of a pencil. They have a much more delicate and sweeter flavor than mature leeks, with a tender texture throughout. The entire stalk, from the white base to the green top, is edible and requires minimal cleaning. They are a gourmet ingredient, perfect for grilling or roasting whole, or for adding a subtle, sophisticated onion flavor to salads and vinaigrettes. An elegant and convenient allium.
