This rare Scottish heirloom has been around the States since the 1830’s. Considered one of the hardiest winter crops, this traditional leek offers a delectable mild and smooth taste. Traditionally, this biennial crop, offers harvests well into the fall in protected areas, through the winter and even the spring. We know of folks harvesting it from frozen ground!
This delicious crop has been cultivated for hundreds of years in Europe. Its tender stalk and rich flavor can be used raw, in soups, stews, stir-fry, casseroles and in general where onions are called for.
