Remove the leeks. storage options

This year, the leek has pleased me with his crop. I'll tell you how to clean it and keep long time fresh.

Cleaning

Leeks need to clean up on a sunny day. It is impossible that in the leaf axils was no water, it is necessary to merge with onions, otherwise it rots. And then a little dry in the sun. Shorten the roots, leaving 5-7 cm. Shorten the leaves. The latter also can be frozen or dried. If you do intend to freeze or dry, then clean as possible and tighten, as this plant is cold-resistant, resistant to minus 5-7 degrees below zero. In the case of harvesting it for storage in the fresh form, must be removed early, before frost.

storage Methods

I like to store onions in fresh form, because it retains its vitamins for a long time, than all its other vegetables. We can say that this is an exception to the rule. He accumulates vitamin C in the winter. After drying, the wrap film in a part of the bow (each plant) and store in the refrigerator. The remaining part is placed in a bucket filled with sand in the basement (sprinkle the roots of 10-15 cm dry sand). From above, you can throw the bag and tie it by making small holes in it for air intake.

If you can not keep fresh, it can be frozen, cut into pieces and put into bags.

You can leeks and dry up.

I noticed that the taste of leeks is further improved in storage.

Good luck with your harvest!
