Organic Leek Farinto

Approx.300 organic vegetable seeds per gardener’s packet

Organic Leek, Farinto, is a brilliant vegetable for winter! This frost-hardy variety has thick white stems with no bulbs and lovely blue-green leaves. Perfect for harvesting from December through to spring.

Growing instructions:
Sow in drills March-April, then transplant seedlings when pencil-sized. Made a 15 cm hole with a dibber to plant each seedling and water well. This procedure is what makes the base of leeks white.

Cooking:
Remove the root and outer leaves. Leeks can sometimes be gritty, so wash them well after slicing as desired, then sautee or roast and serve as a side dish. They’re essential for leek and potato soup and delicious in quiches and homity pie.
