The UK's most reliable leek. Thick stems, excellent frost hardiness. Stands in the ground all winter.
Flavour
Musselburgh leeks have a sweet, mild onion flavour with a subtle earthiness, intensified by frost exposure.
In the kitchen
Ideal for slow roasting or smoking whole on the BBQ, Musselburgh leeks develop a rich, caramelised sweetness that complements smoky meats and root vegetables.
Growing
Plant in well-drained, fertile soil with consistent moisture; Musselburgh thrives in cold conditions and can be left in the ground over winter without damage.
