Untitled DocumentStoreFeedbackFollow UsLarge American Flag Leekis a large, upright non-bulbous type of leek. This heirloom variety matures to have long, thick, white, blanched stalks topped with 1.5 inch wide, deep grey-green, flat leaves. This variety is tolerant of cold weather and are biannual but typically grown as annuals. Warmer climates may have luck over wintering leeks to grow as a biannual. The white stalks of Large American Flag Leek are edible and taste of a subtle mild, sweet onion flavor. They are great boiled, fried, baked, and steamed. This unique crunchy veggie also goes well in salads, soups, stews, meat pies and stir frys. Try it in a soup with root veggies like Harris Model Parsnip and Little Finger Carrot. Leeks most likely originated in the Mediterranean region, where they have been cultivated for over 3,000 years. Jewish tradition has used this member of the onion family since their nation's historic sojourn in Egypt. Greek and Roman cultures also record medicinal uses for the leek, and Nero himself ate vast quantities of it with the belief that it would benefit his voice quality. Leeks were later brought to the British Isles by Phoenician traders, where they came to be the national symbol of Wales. This vegetable is not as well-known as its close relative, the onion, but chefs and gardeners alike appreciate the leek for its sweeter, more subtle flavor. ☼ Each Order Comes With Detailed Planting Instructions ☼Seed Quantity You will receive 1000+ Large American Flag Leek Seeds per ‘1 quantity’ ordered NOTE: To conserve resources we combine all orders of duplicate seed quantities of the same variety into one pack.
