Beautiful organic leeks, straight from the fields. They were the first crop Guy ever planted at Riverford in 1986, and remain one of our favourite veg to this day. We choose the tastiest varieties and grow them slowly for maximum flavour.

Punchy and potent when raw, leeks turn gorgeously sweet when cooked. Although they're not the star of many dishes, they're an important ingredient of many; these kitchen stalwarts will make your plate sing

How to prepare

Our top tip for preparing leeks is to cut them in half down the length of the leek, from just above the base, so the two halves stay attached to the root. Rinse well under a running tap. You can use both the white and the green parts. Blanch, braise, roast or stir fry. For an easy pasta sauce, sweat finely sliced leeks gently in butter and oil for 10 mins. Add a dollop of cream, mustard, some crispy bacon, then season to taste, and you're done.

Storage

Keep in the bottom of the fridge. They'll last a week or so.

Why Riverford?

We source our organic fruit and veg from Riverford, a grower-led business that’s been championing organic farming for decades. That means food grown properly, with healthy soil, seasonal rhythms, and zero shortcuts, just as nature intended.

Organic, Seasonal & Full of Life

Riverford’s produce is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, allowing the plants (and the soil they grow in) to thrive naturally. You’ll taste the difference: vibrant colours, proper flavour, and fruit and veg that’s packed with goodness because it’s picked in season, not forced to grow fast.

Good Food with Good Values

Beyond the veg itself, Riverford stands for fairness to farmers, to wildlife, and to the planet. From soil regeneration to minimal packaging and fair pay, every box supports a food system that’s kinder, more sustainable, and built to last.
