ABOUT
Leek microgreens are among the most elegant alliums you can grow indoors — each seed sends up a single, fine, grass-like blade that slowly fills the tray with a cool blue-green canopy and a faint, sweet onion fragrance that intensifies beautifully when you snip the first harvest. The flavour is clean and restrained: softer and slightly sweeter than a spring onion, with just a whisper of the earthy depth you'd expect from a mature leek. They shine scattered over a warm potato soup, folded into a herb omelette, or laid across smoked salmon — anywhere you want an onion note without the punch. Because leek microgreens regrow from the base after cutting, one tray can yield two or even three successive harvests, making them exceptionally good value for the patient grower.
