The dark green tops (leaves) are usually discarded so you want to find leeks with as much usable parts as possible. Leeks should feel firm. Make sure the leeks you choose do not have leaves that are dry or yellow in color.  \nHOW DO I STORE THEM?  \nLeeks should be stored in a plastic bag in the vegetable drawer of your refrigerator. They are best when used within one week from purchase, but can last 2-3 weeks if stored properly. Cut or sliced leeks can be stored in a plastic bag in the freezer for up to one year.  \nHOW DO I PREPARE THEM?  \n1.Wash leeks under cool running water.  \n2. Remove the dark green leaves on the tops of the leeks. Discard leaves, or save to add to homemade broth.  \n3. Cut off roots at the very ends of the leeks. Discard.  \n4. Cut remaining parts of leeks in half lengthwise.  \n5. Rinse leek pieces again, as dirt often gets stuck between the layers.  \n6. Cut the leeks into small slices or cut as desired.  \nWHAT CAN I DO WITH THEM?  \n Add boiled leeks to a pasta dish  \n Use fresh leeks or leek leaves to add extra flavor to soups or stews  \n Grill leeks and add to a summer salad  \n Sauté leeks and add to a stir fry dish  \n Use chopped leeks as a pizza topping  \nKITCHEN TIP!  \nLeeks often have a lot of dirt stuck between their layers. It is very important to wash them a few times before cooking and eating.  \nThis material was funded by USDA's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – SNAP.
