Uses

<p>Leeks are used in soups, stocks, stir-fries, quiches and stews, adding a gentle onion-garlic flavour, and the tender white shanks are the prized culinary part.</p>

Growing tips

<p>Sow seeds about 1 cm deep in a seed tray or nursery bed. Germination takes 7-14 days at 15-22°C. Transplant seedlings when pencil-thick (about 15 cm tall) into deep holes, spacing 15 cm apart, and earth up the stems progressively to blanch long white shanks. Harvest 90-120 days after transplanting once stems are 2-3 cm thick.</p>

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to sow leek seeds in India?
Sow from September to November in the plains for a winter crop, or through spring and summer in hill stations. Leeks need cool weather to develop sweet, tender stems.
How do I get long white stems on my leeks?
Transplant seedlings into deep holes and gradually mound soil around the growing stems (earthing up). Blocking light from the base blanches the shanks, giving the prized long white portion.
