Producer's Tips: How to properly prepare your leeks?

 
The leek is a traditional vegetable that requires special attention during preparation. Because the quality of our products deserves an optimal tasting experience, the Gosselin Group shares its secrets for perfect cleaning.

The step-by-step method:
  • Strategic cutting: Trim the roots and any damaged tips of the green part. Don't throw all the greens away: they are excellent for flavoring your broths!
  • The opening: Slit the leek stalk in four (in a cross shape) starting from the upper part.
  • Dynamic rinsing: Let cold water run inside the leaves while gently separating them. The soil, naturally present from field cultivation, will easily wash away.


By mastering these simple gestures, you preserve all the tenderness and delicate flavor of this emblematic vegetable of our plains.
