Present leeks with the white end down and the leaves facing up for a tidy display.
Place leeks alongside ingredients for classic dishes like mash and soups to inspire customers and boost sales.

Leeks are vulnerable to drying out and wilting, especially the leaves, so ensure sufficient humidity.

Growing Method
BelOrta leeks are grown in open fields, meaning they grow outdoors in natural soil. This method gives the leeks a firm texture and full flavour. Thanks to the slow and steady growth in open ground, the leeks are of excellent quality. Perfect for tasty dishes and a healthy meal.
