I had no idea that leeks are so much more flavorful than plain ol' White Air Dried Onions; not that I'm putting down North Bay's onions, 'cuz I like them a lot, too. It's just that these leeks bring a whole other flavor profile to my soups and stews that was lacking with just the plain white onion variety. That must be why I've just ordered a 1.5 lb Bulk Bag of the leeks in order to have plenty on hand, to further explore the wonderful world of leeks even more.

These dried leeks are excellent in soups and stews, especially potato soup. Air dried veggies are always handy and great for a single cook!

Didn't have an onion for superbowl dip and threw in a tablespoon of these leeks (dry). Delicious! Go Packers!
