🧅 Fresh Welsh Leeks (500g)
The national vegetable of Wales! Our fresh leeks are a source of Welsh pride and culinary tradition. Sweet, mild, and wonderfully versatile, leeks are a staple in both classic Welsh dishes and modern cooking.
Seasonal Availability: Available year-round, with peak season October–March when Welsh leeks are at their absolute best. We prioritise Welsh-grown leeks to honour this proud tradition.
Welsh Heritage: Wales has grown leeks for centuries. Worn on St David's Day (March 1st) and celebrated in Welsh cuisine — each 500g brings a slice of Welsh food culture to your kitchen.
Prep Tips: Trim roots and dark green tops (save for stock!). Slice lengthwise and rinse under running water to remove trapped soil.
