Seasonal Calendar

Leeks are a vegetable that can be grown in the Canary Islands year-round, but the best months to buy them are autumn (September to November) and winter (January to March). During these months, the weather is cooler and more humid, which favors leek growth.

Spring (March to June): The weather is cooler and wetter, which makes it difficult for leeks to grow. However, it is still possible to find leeks in markets, although they may be more expensive and of lower quality.
Summer (July to August): The weather is very hot and dry, which makes it difficult for leeks to grow. Leeks are hard to find in markets during these months.
Autumn (September to November): The weather is cooler and more humid, which favors leek growth. This is the best time to buy leeks in the Canary Islands. Leeks grown in the Canary Islands during these months are fresh, with an intense and aromatic flavor.
Winter (December to February): The weather is very cold and dry, which makes it difficult for leeks to grow. Leeks are hard to find in markets during these months.

Selection tips

Here are some tips for choosing fresh leeks:

The leek should be firm and should not have soft spots.
The leek should have a bright green color.
The leek should have a strong, fresh smell.
If the leek does not meet these criteria, it is likely not fresh and will not taste good.

Conservation

Here are some tips for storing fresh leeks:

Store the leeks in a cool, dry place.
Leeks will stay fresh for about 7 days in the refrigerator.
Do not wash leeks before storing them. Wash leeks just before using them.

I always buy it because it gives the soup a wonderful flavor; you can really tell it's fresh and from the ground. Besides being delicious, it's great for everything: my immune system, my digestion, and I've heard it even helps with cholesterol.

I don't usually write vegetable reviews, but these organic leeks from Sanus Market deserve it. The moment you cut them, you notice the difference: the aroma is incredibly mild, and they don't have that hard, woody core you find in supermarkets. You can tell they're fresh and locally grown. We mainly use them in vegetable soups and broths.
