Leeks are a cool season crop hardy to frosts and light freezes, and are relatively pest and disease free. Being in the same family as onions, shallots, scallions, and garlic--leeks are milder and sweeter than their counterparts and are jam-packed with tons of nutritional benefits. Leeks should be harvested when they are no more than 1-1 1/2 inches in diameter, since any larger will often be fibrous. They will keep up to 2 weeks after harvesting if left unwashed and stored in the refrigerator. Leeks can be enjoyed sauteed, braised, pureed into soup, or thinly sliced in salads.
