Our Freeze-Dried Leek Flakes are made from young, tender leeks that are freshly harvested at peak flavor. Using advanced vacuum freeze-drying, we gently remove water content while locking in their vibrant green color, fresh onion-garlic-like aroma, and naturally mild sweetness. The result is a clean-label ingredient that rehydrates quickly and enhances taste without added preservatives.
Leek (Allium ampeloprasum), related to onion and garlic, is a prized culinary vegetable widely used in European, Asian, and Middle Eastern cuisines. Its mild onion-like flavor and vibrant green color make it a versatile addition to soups, stews, instant meals, spice blends, and gourmet seasoning products.
